Green Lentil Dip
CATEGORY: Gluten-Free | Vegan | Snack | Dip
INGREDIENTS
1 cup dry, green lentils
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons of an acidic hot sauce (my personal favorite is Texas Pete)
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS
Thoroughly rinse and drain green lentils, and cook according to instructions
After cooking the lentils, rinse again with cool water
Add cooked & rinsed lentils to a blender or food processor along with all other ingredients & pulse/blend until you have reached your desired consistency
Adjust seasonings to taste
NOTES
1. 1. Rinsing the lentils is even easier using a fine mesh strainer
2. Enjoy this easy green lentil dip with your favorite veggies. My favorites are radishes, carrots, or cauliflower. Plantain chips are also a healthier alternative to potato chips for dipping.
