Instructions

In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, pickle juice, fresh dill, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out. Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Top with the chopped pickles.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pickle Juice Precision 💦
Reserve the pickle juice from your dill pickles and add it gradually to control the tanginess and consistency of your hummus, allowing you to customize the flavor profile perfectly.
Texture Transformation 🥣
For ultra-smooth hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending by gently squeezing them between your fingers, which removes the tough outer skin and results in an incredibly creamy texture.
Flavor Layering Technique 🧄
Toast your ground cumin in a dry pan for 30-60 seconds before adding to the hummus to unlock deeper, more complex flavor notes that complement the pickle's tanginess.
Chop Control 🔪
Finely dice your pickles into uniform, small pieces to ensure even distribution and prevent large pickle chunks from disrupting the smooth hummus consistency.
Garnish Strategy 🌿
Create a beautiful presentation by garnishing with extra chopped fresh dill, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of roughly chopped pickles for textural contrast and visual appeal.
