Dill Pickle Hummus
This creamy dill pickle hummus is a wonderfully tangy take on classic hummus. It has a big pickle flavor and that smooth texture you love and expect from hummus. Make it quickly and easily right in your food processor for the perfect no-cook dip, sandwich spread, or sauce for wraps and bowls. A delightful blend of garbanzo beans, tahini, extra-virgin olive oil, pickle brine, chopped pickles, and fresh dill, this dill pickle hummus may be your new favorite hummus flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
- 1/3 cup chilled pickle juice
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 - 4 large cloves garlic
- 1 - 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 - 2 tsp fresh dill packed
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 4 small ice cubes or 2 large
- 2 15-oz cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
Instructions
- BLEND THE TAHINI MIX: Add the first 9 ingredients to a food processor (That’s everything EXCEPT the ice cubes and chickpeas.) and process until smooth.
- FINISH THE HUMMUS: Add in the chickpeas + ice cubes and puree for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed. It’s important to do at least 5 minutes to get the creamiest texture.
- ADJUST AS NEEDED: If the hummus seems too thick, feel free to add in an extra tablespoon or two of water to get the food processor moving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed
- SERVE: Serve dill pickle hummus in a big bowl topped with pickle slices, fresh dill, crushed red pepper flakes, or freshly ground black pepper! Enjoy it as a sandwich spread, on wraps, as the perfect afternoon snack or party appetizer.
- STORE: Store leftover hummus in a well-sealed, airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days or the freezer for up to 12 weeks. We like to freeze this hummus in our 1 or 2 cup Souper Cubes silicone trays for easy portioning and defrosting!
