Instructions

Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Blend the Base. In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, pickle juice, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, and you may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor occasionally.

Step 2: Add Dill & Pickles. Add the fresh dill (or dried dill) and the chopped dill pickles to the food processor. Pulse a few times to mix in the texture while keeping some pickle chunks for crunch. Don’t over-process at this stage; you want to retain some texture from the pickles.

Step 3: Taste & Adjust. Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more pickle juice if you want a tangier flavor, or more olive oil if you prefer a silkier hummus.

Step 4: Serve & Garnish. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with extra chopped pickles, fresh dill, and red pepper flakes (if using) for garnish.

Step 5: Enjoy! Serve with pita chips, raw veggies (like carrots, celery, and cucumber), or crackers.

The instructions are easy to follow.
