Equipment
- Food processor or high-speed blender
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Serving bowl
Ingredients
- 1 can 15.5 oz garbanzo beans (or white beans), rinsed and drained
- 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
- ½ cup dill pickles chopped
- ¼ cup pickle brine
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 –2 tablespoons ice water if needed
Instructions
- In the bowl of your food processor, add the drained beans, minced garlic, chopped pickles, brine, fresh dill, tahini, olive oil, dried dill weed, salt, and pepper.
- Pulse a few times to start breaking down the ingredients. This helps incorporate the pickles without turning everything to mush right away.
- Process the mixture on high until it turns creamy and thick. Pause a couple of times to scrape down the sides.
- If the hummus is too thick or chunky, add 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time until it reaches your desired texture—smooth, velvety, and dippable.
- Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if needed—more salt, more brine, or an extra garlic clove for extra zip.
- Scoop into a bowl, then top with a swirl of olive oil, extra chopped pickles, and a sprinkle of fresh dill. Serve it up with veggies, crackers, pita chips, or spread on wrap
Notes
- Great for meal prep lunches—add a scoop of this hummus to bento boxes with crackers, cheese, and fruit.
- Make it your own! Add your favorite herbs or toppings like paprika, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil
