Cooking Instructions:

• Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas under cold water. This helps to remove excess sodium and ensures a cleaner flavor. Mince the garlic and set it aside. Dice your dill pickles for the topping.
• In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, dill pickle juice, dill relish, olive oil, lemon juice, dried dill, kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Pulse the mixture until it starts to come together. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, while processing. Continue blending until the hummus reaches your desired consistency—smooth and creamy.
• Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or pickle juice according to your preference.
• Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Top it with the diced dill pickles and a sprinkle of fresh dill for an extra burst of flavor and color. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for visual appeal.
