Lemon Dill Hummus is a fresh dip that's perfect to keep around the house for a delicious and healthy snack. This hummus has a bright citrus flavor and is easy to make in just 5 minutes.
Especially in the summer, I almost always have a batch of hummus in my fridge. It's such a great snack to pair with fresh veggies. And there's no cooking involved, so it's just a cool, refreshing snack.
So, I'm always looking for unique hummus flavors. When I thought about what would be cool and refreshing, lemon immediately came to mind.
Hummus traditionally contains lemon juice, but it's amped up in this recipe with a whole lemon's worth of juice and the zest! It's such a light and refreshing flavor. Perfect for warm weather!!

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Chickpeas: canned chickpeas are perfect
- Aquafaba: this is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. This recipe uses aquafaba instead of oil
- Tahini: tahini is a sesame seed paste. If you don't have any you could use sunflower seed butter or almond butter
- Lemon: grab a whole lemon and zest and juice it. Lemon adds such a freshness to this hummus.
- Fresh Dill: I recommend fresh dill for the best flavor, but you can sub 2 tablespoons of dried dill
- Garlic: mincing the garlic before you blend it keeps it from getting too strong
- Cumin
- Salt
How to make Lemon Dill Hummus

FAQ & Expert Tips
Most traditional Middle Eastern hummus recipes are made without oil! They usually use fresh chickpeas. This is an option.
But there's another way: add more tahini or aquafaba.
Save all the liquid from your can of chickpeas or grab some extra tahini and add another ¼ cup for an ultra silky hummus.
Homemade hummus does not last as long as store-bought.
Store this coconut curry hummus in an air tight container in the fridge. It will last 7-10 days.
Serving Suggestions
Hummus is classically served with pita, but here are a few other options:
- Pretzels
- Raw veggies (like carrots, celery, peppers, or cucumbers)
- Homemade Crackers
- In a sandwich
- By itself - eat it by the spoonful!
