"Great alternative to chickpea hummus. My husband loved it even though he doesn't like lentils as much. He said he couldn't taste the lentils. Boiling lentils with turmeric made a great difference."

- Fold onion mixture into lentils along with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, cilantro, and lemon juice. Transfer to a blender and puree until creamy.

Excellent! I used red lentils just because they are what I had in the cupboard. No cilantro, some buillion. Really yummy healthy dip!
