Dill Pickle White Bean Hummus [Oil Free]
This Dill Pickle White Bean Hummus blends creamy cannellini beans with avocado and a distinctive tang from pickle juice and fresh dill, creating a smooth, oil-free spread. The recipe relies on a food processor to combine its simple ingredients into a dip that can be thinned to preference with pickle juice, enhancing the bright pickle flavor without added fats. Its versatility makes it suitable for serving with vegetables, crackers, pita, or as a sandwich spread.
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.
