How to Choose Healthy Pickles for Your Hummus
💡TIP: Do you have any pickles in your fridge? Go check the ingredients list!
✅Chances are if you buy regular commercial pickles … you’re not getting healthy probiotics from them!
👉🏾For pickles to contain the “good” bacteria, they must be fermented in a solution of water and salt and be REFRIGERATED. Pickles sitting on the store shelf (no refrigeration) do NOT fall into this “raw” probiotic rich category.
🔥Check your store’s refrigerated section for probiotic-rich pickles and be sure to read the labels!
🍋ALWAYS use freshly-squeezed lemon juice from an actual fresh citrus.
Variations to Pickle Hummus
There are not many other things we like more than pickle flavored hummus, but sometimes we like to change it up here and do things like:
- Make garlic pickle hummus, where we just add a little bit of garlic paste to my already pickily hummus.
- Or make spicy pickle hummus, when we add a little bit of spice from chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
Both are delicious; let me know if you try either!

Rachel’s Tips for Best Results
- If you find the hummus dip too thick, try adding a bit more pickle juice or water to thin it out.
- This dip is naturally lumpy.
Serving Suggestions
Pickle hummus dip is delicious when dipping any type of vegetable such as cauliflower, celery, red peppers, or carrots. However, there are a few other ways we love to use hummus here at Clean Food Crush such as:
- A spread on Ham + Chaffle Breakfast Sandwich or Turkey Cucumber Mini Sandwich Bites.
- Or a topping for Roasted Cauliflower Babe Bowls and Salmon Cauli-Rice Bowls.
Storage for Leftover Hummus
This dill pickle hummus will keep in the refrigerator to be enjoyed for around 2-3 days. We don’t recommend freezing any leftovers.
