Lentil Hummus
Have you ever tried hummus with lentils instead of chickpeas? You should! Lentils are high in protein and fiber.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown lentils canned, rinsed and drained
- 1 tiny garlic clove peeled
- 4 teaspoons tahini
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/3 cup water + more if you need to
- 1/4 teaspoon salt + more to taste
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley chopped
- a few more lentils
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in a small blender* or food processor.
- Blend/pulse until the lentil dip is creamy. You might have to scrape down the sides. Add more salt, lemon juice to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
*If you're using a regular sized blender or food processor, you might have to double the ingredients so that the knives can process the ingredients into a smooth dip. I've bought a blender with a smaller container to make small-batch sauces and dips.
