Why You\u2019ll Love This Red Lentil Dip Recipe<\/h2>\n

This red lentil version actually started when I spread leftover thick tarka dal on toast and discovered it was delicious. Having already shared a recipe for non-traditional yellow lentil hummus<\/a>, I couldn\u2019t resist sharing this red lentil hummus too.<\/p>\n

Unlike chickpeas, red lentils cook quickly and require zero peeling to blend into a velvety, protein-rich dip. Plus, they contain more protein, iron, and B vitamins. When combined with tahini, garlic, paprika, cumin, and coriander, it\u2019s smooth and delicious (and versatile enough to experiment with spice and other flavorful add-ins).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cheap, freezer-friendly, gluten-free, and perfect for maximum flavor with minimum effort \u2013 just like my easy beet hummus<\/a>, pinto bean dip<\/a>, or vegan French onion dip<\/a>!<\/p>\n
