If the mixture is to thick add in olive oil until mixture is spreadable. Stir in parsley. Taste to adjust seasonings to your liking; Serve!

*Johnna's tip: Humus is a good snack to serve and snack on during the summer and the winter. It is the perfect side dish and the flavors make you feel like your in a Lebanese restaurant year around. This is one of the easiest recipes to make that is filled to the brim with flavor...try it!

*Johnna's tip, tip: Best is served with pita bread (*can be found at your local grocery store) and some fresh olives;-)
