Made humous last night for the first time, chick peas, garlic, tahini. But it is a little dry, what did I do wrong or what can I add to it to make it a little more moist?

Thanks

    I use a glug of olive oil and lemon juice, and sometimes some water from the chick peas if it's still too dry.

    I do what jackieglasgow and mummysaver advise. Sometimes it is nice to stir natural yoghurt through to get a lighter flavour.

    I like the idea of a little yoghurt through it. That sounds good, thanks!

    Agree - good glug of olive oil and some lemon juice, then your hummous will be perfect (and with a bit of paprika sprinkled on top!)

    This is one of the things that I never seem to get right either, we love Hummous and my DD always says I never make it as nice as the stuff in the Shops.:o Going to try suggestions on here with extra lemon juice or maybe Yoghurt to "loosen" it a bit. Thanks.;)
