Dill Pickle Hummus
Dill Pickle Hummus is the perfect snack for dill pickle lovers. Homemade hummus is better than store-bought and is made in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Chickpeas, cooked, 1 can
- ¼ cup Tahini paste
- ½ cup Dill pickles, chopped
- Pickle juice, as needed
- 2-3 teaspoons Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, or 2 teaspoons dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon Salt, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil, or more as needed
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until pureed, adding pickle juice or olive oil as needed to help achieve a creamy texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning to personal preferences.
Christina's Notes
- Use Quality Pickles: The flavor of your hummus will largely depend on the quality of the dill pickles you use. Choose ones you enjoy eating on their own.
- Don't Overdo the Brine Initially: It's easier to add more brine than to take it away. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste and desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust Seasoning: After blending, always taste the hummus and adjust the salt, lemon juice, pickle brine, and other seasonings as needed.
- Garnish for Appeal: Top with chopped dill, a drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle with extra chopped dill pickles, or a pinch of paprika for visual appeal.
- Pair Creatively: Think beyond the usual dippers. Dill pickle hummus is fantastic with roasted vegetables, as a spread on a turkey or veggie sandwich or even alongside grilled sausages.
- Experiment with Textures: Some people prefer a chunkier hummus rather than a smooth hummus. You can achieve this by adding some of the chopped pickles towards the end of blending or by pulsing instead of blending continuously.
- Serve this Recipe: Try this dill pickle hummus with an Easy Charcuterie Board, Air Fryer Indian Fry Bread or with sliced veggies.
