oh yeah, i always doctor up store-bought hummus. grab some garlic, a little lemon juice, and whatever spice or additional ingredient will go nice with the flavor of hummus you got at the store....and toss in a blender/food processor. that way, the garlic and lemon get evenly distributed. plus, hummus is better the creamier it gets.
i always sprinkle a little red onion and tomato, finely diced, over the top, and another sprinkle of lemon juice right as i serve it, as well. gives it a nice zing!

why dont u make it next time, its alot less expensive and soo easy!
u can add whatever u like as well....just blend chick peas from can with the water that comes with it, add extra virgin olive oil, adobo or salt, garlic powder, lemon juice, and I think thats it, you can also add tahini, but if u cant find it or whatever, u can leave it out.

A little sea salt, and if you don't have tahini try adding a tbsp of peanut butter and a little fresh garlic.

cumin or a little curry powder.
Tobasco is also pretty good.
