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.
