What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked black lentils (over cook your lentils. you want these entirely mushy)

  1. Grind cooked lentils in your food processor
  2. Add lime juice. Add a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Grind to blend
  3. Add olive oil a little at a time, along with water, grinding as you incorporate. Make sure you watch the consistency. You want a dip-like consistency... not too runny nor too dry!
