Scale
SAUCE
- 1/3 cup hummus
- 1–2 Tbsp lemon juice (start with 1 Tbsp)
- 1 tsp dried dill* (or 1 Tbsp fresh minced dill)
- 3 cloves garlic* (minced, approx. 1 ½ Tbsp minced)
- ~3 Tbsp water (to thin sauce)
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add the hummus, lemon juice (start with 1 tablespoon), dried dill, and minced garlic. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to begin forming the sauce.
- Adjust Consistency: Slowly add water, approximately 3 tablespoons, to thin the sauce to a pourable yet thick consistency. Whisk to blend the water evenly into the sauce.
- Taste and Adjust Flavors: Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed—add more garlic for increased zing, more lemon juice for brightness and acidity, and extra dill for a stronger herb flavor. Optionally, add a pinch of salt depending on the saltiness of the hummus used.
- Serve and Store: Serve this versatile dill garlic sauce with crispy chickpeas, salads, wraps, falafel, or any desired dish. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days depending on ingredient freshness.
Notes
- 3 cloves of garlic equals approximately 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic.
- Use 2 to 3 teaspoons of fresh minced dill as a substitute for 1 teaspoon dried dill.
- The recipe yields approximately 1/2 to 2/3 cup of sauce.
- Nutrition estimates use the lesser amount of lemon juice, no optional salt, and hummus that contains oil.
- For lower fat content, use or make oil-free hummus.
