Two things. You can balance it out with tahini, olive oil and water. Add flavor by sprinkling cumin to taste and eating it on baked sweet potato slices. I also love, hummus on crostinis with tomato slices and micro greens. Good luck!
Jayzus, really? Uh oh....were u triggered???? Do u need a safe space? Grow up. I highly doubt the writer meant it gender specific and your comment that most of us are girls can be considered sexist too, byyour logic. SMH
It seems you have solved this for now, but another suggestion is to puree in tofu. It blends in remarkably well and makes a fluffy lighter spread that I really like. I like to keep shelf stable tofu in aseptic packs for uses like this. Nothing really removed salt so you have to add volume.
You can add something like roasted peppers or artichoke hearts. Adding lemon zest may cut the saltiness, it depends how salty we're talking. Adding more chickpeas and tahini, as mentioned below, would be ideal.
Try adding some olive oil. It can dilute the saltiness and not thin out the hummus as much as water. Also cold hummus may not taste as salty because the cold can mute flavor.
Add another bean or a green instead.... like spinach or edamame. you can also replace the tahini with yogurt (and a bit of sesame oil, if you have it).
I'd try increasing the chickpeas, tahini and add a little water. Then taste for more lemon. I think you just need to increase the volume of your key ingredients, without adding more salt.
