Spiced Indian Red Lentil Dip Recipe
Heather Nicholds, C.H.N.

This delicious dip is one of the fastest bean dips to make! Since red lentils cook to be soft, all you need is a fork instead of a blender or food processor!

One thing to note about this dip is that if you leave it in the fridge for a day and come back to it, it will be a bit solid because of the texture of the lentils. All you need to do to soften it back up is to add some liquid – almond milk, vegetable broth, water, or whatever you have.
