Adding extra veg might work. The dislike is mostly based on the fact that it's over-sweet & slightly artificial-tasting (I presume this is due to the stuff they put in to make it last in the jar - I don't tend to notice it in the time-limited pots that come from the chill cabinet). > If you actively loathe it, then you'll have to try harder to cover > it up, and it might be easier to just donate it to someone who does > like it and get/make something nicer. Oh, I don't dislike it *that* much, just not enough to eat it neat with bread. Extra spices might work - or something bitter to cut through the sweetness (though I'm not sure how well that would actually work...) > Incidentally, what do you regard as "the nice stuff"? Either the stuff I've made myself (chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, coriander, chilli, lemon/lime juice), or the stuff that supermarkets do in plastic tubs that lives in the same place as the hummous. That tends not to be so over-sweet, & doesn't have as much in the way of preservatives (though I expect there are some - there usually are). JulietThere's stuff above here
