Red lentil dip
Thinking about making homemade hummus but want to try something different from the classic recipe?
Here’s a twist on traditional hummus — same creamy texture, but made with red lentils instead of chickpeas. Just as quick to prepare as the original, this colorful spread brings a fresh take to your appetizer routine and might just make you fall in love with red lentils.
Our secret? A few sun-dried tomatoes, a hint of Espelette pepper, and a generous spoonful of our Yusto nutritional yeast to bring everything together!
