Red Lentil Hummus Recipe
This creamy and delectable Red Lentil Hummus is a healthier alternative to traditional hummus. It's high in protein and fiber, making it an excellent snack or appetizer. The lentils give it a lovely reddish hue and a slightly nutty flavor that complements the tangy lemon and garlic perfectly. It's great as a dip or spread.
