Pickle lovers unite!
Now this is my kind of game day snack. A creamy homemade hummus with tons of dill relish, pickle juice, tahini and garlic, topped with diced pickles, chickpeas and fresh dill. Oh my gosh. It’s heaven!
I am an absolute pickle freak. I love any and all things pickles, pickled, tangy, briney, vinegary and so on. And I crave those flavors – let’s just say that they bring me so much joy.
I’ll gladly snack on pickles but also anything pickle-flavored. Ithaca is my favorite store-bought hummus brand and they make pickle flavored hummus. To say my mind was blown… yes. But at the same I also thought that maybe I could make it even MORE pickley.
Yes. Hello. I have a problem. It’s me!
Into this hummus goes:
Chickpeas, of course
Lots of tahini
Dill relish!
Dried dill
Garlic
Spices
And pickle juice. Right from the jar!
The pickle juice is my favorite part. I could be the freak that drinks it straight from the jar. Instead, these days I save it for hummus!
For me, the key to super smooth hummus is adding in some ice water. This hummus gets extra smooth because we’re adding that water in, but also the pickle juice! It’s SO creamy and ridiculously spreadable, dippable and more.
Also, this is a reminder that your hummus will be as flavorful as the pickles that you purchase!! I suggest using pickles that you love AND making sure to taste your hummus as you make it. This way you will know if it needs a little extra salt or pickle juice or relish or whatever! Make sure you LOVE it.
It’s ideal on sandwiches too. In wraps, on toast, with chips, crackers and veggies – options are endless!
Um, can you even take how delicious this looks?!

-
Place most of the chickpeas (I reserve about ¼ cup for topping) in a food processor and pulse and blend until they begin to break down. Add in the tahini and blend to combine.
-
Add in the garlic, pickle juice, relish, olive oil, dill, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until creamy.
-
Blend in the ice water, streaming in ¼ cup at a time, until smooth and creamy. Taste and season the hummus as desired – more salt, pepper, even dill relish if you’d like.
-
Spread in a bowl or on a plate. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, the reserved chickpeas, the chopped pickles and fresh dill. Serve immediately!
