Dill Pickle White Bean Hummus [Oil Free]
Description
Dill Pickle White Bean Hummus is a creamy, oil-free hummus variant that replaces the usual chickpeas with cannellini beans and includes avocado to enrich texture. The combination of fresh dill and pickle juice brings a crisp, tangy note to the hummus, giving it a character different from traditional recipes. Using pickle juice instead of water intensifies the dill-pickle essence while keeping preparation straightforward by blending all ingredients until smooth. The absence of oil offers a lighter option without sacrificing creaminess.
The texture is creamy and spreadable, suitable for dipping or layering in sandwiches. The acidity from lemon juice and pickle juice balances the mildness of the beans and avocado, while garlic powder adds a subtle savoriness. Adjusting the amount of pickle juice alters the consistency, allowing customization from thick spread to a lighter dip.
This hummus pairs well as a snack alongside raw vegetables, baked pita chips, or as a tangy addition to sandwiches and burgers. It can be made ahead and tastes best when chilled for at least an hour to meld flavors. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to four days or can be frozen for longer storage, retaining its distinctive flavor when thawed.
Ingredients
- 15 ounce cannellini beans drained + rinsed, canned
- 1 avocado peel + pit removed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice approx. half a large lemon
- 2-3 tablespoons dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill weed, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 2-4 tablespoons pickle juice scoop some out of a jar of pickles or use water if you don't have any
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your food processor, starting with 2 tablespoons of the pickle juice. Process until smooth and add more pickle juice if a thinner consistency is desired. Taste for salt and pepper and add to your taste.
- Enjoy with veggies, crackers, pita, or as a spread in your favourite burgers and sandwiches.
Notes
- Use pickle juice instead of water to enhance the dill-pickle flavor in the hummus.
- Keep leftover pickle juice from jars to reuse for future batches.
- White beans provide a creamier texture, but chickpeas can substitute if preferred.
- Chill the hummus for an hour before serving to improve flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers refrigerated up to 4 days or freeze airtight for up to 3 months.
