How to Make Red Lentil Hummus
This red lentil hummus is a simple, healthy twist on a classic dip. Instead of chickpeas, it uses red lentils for a smooth texture and mild, nutty flavor. It comes together quickly with a few basic ingredients and is easy to enjoy with non-starchy veggies or as a spread on sandwiches.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a small saucepan combine water and dried red lentils and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes or until the lentils have split and become soft. Cool and transfer to a food processor.
-
Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt and black pepper and process for 30-60 seconds or until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
-
Transfer to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days until serving time.
