I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hummus turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much water.

This hummus is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add some more water or lemon juice next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my hummus turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.
