Pickle fans, rejoice and rejoice, because you're in luck with a whole new savory treat. This is Trader Joe's new dill pickle hummus, and it's...exactly what it sounds like. This is hummus! It’s pickle flavored! This might become the most polarizing snack at a socially distanced cookout. Hope it's your new favorite.
Each 8-ounce tub combines a classic chickpea hummus base with the tangy, savory flavor of dill pickles. Have no fear: They don't just chop up some dill pickles, put it on top of regular hummus, and call it delicious. Trader Joe's Dill Pickle Hummus starts by cooking whole dill pickles with the chickpeas. Once the beans are properly cooked and infused with pickle flavor, they combine those pickle beans with standard hummus ingredients like tahini, olive oil, and sea salt, as well as seasonings like onion, garlic, dill weed, and black pepper . The final product has the creamy texture of hummus and the vinegary flavor of pickles.
Dip your veggies in it! Serve with your favorite pretzels or chips! Add it to sandwiches for extra flavor! If you really want to go all out with your dill pickle love, serve it over real pickles. All summer long, Trader Joe's will be offering dill pickle hummus, priced at $1.99 per box while supplies last. If this sounds like fun, you'll want to get your hands on some as soon as possible. Most likely this will only be available for a limited time.

If you haven’t been baptized into the Pickle Church yet, now is the time. Like Ranch, Sriracha, and other favorites, you can find just about any dill pickle-inspired savory snack. This is Trader Joe’s Dill Pickle Popcorn. And dill pickle chips. There are Dill Pickle Doritos, Dill Pickle Pringles, and Dill Pickle Nuts. There are even dill pickle popsicles. If this idea offends you, you might want to look away and look at the next project.
In April 2019, a kimchi ice cream was circulated on the Internet. It looks like a banana split, but with a dill pickle spear in place of the banana. I'll let it soak for a while. Although serving pickles with whipped cream and cherries may sound like sacrilege, this isn't the first time pickles and ice cream have been combined. Yes, there's even pickle-flavored ice cream.
I'll let you decide if pickles and ice cream go together. In the meantime, you can rest assured that Trader Joe's new dill pickle hummus is far from the boldest salty snack on the market.
