Recipe inspired by Emily’s famous Dill Hummus.
This is a lighter and extra nutrient-dense version of the popular plant-based dip. Made without chickpeas, packed with fresh veggies and ready to enjoy in about 5 minutes!
Garbanzo beans or chickpeas that are traditionally used in a hummus recipe can be hard to digest for many people unless they are carefully sprouted. So for this reason, I decided to swap chickpeas for red lentils. Inspired by one of our community members recipe, I included tons of fresh veggies to the mix and it turned out great! This looks and tastes like traditional hummus, especially when garnished with herbs and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil, so is a great recipe, and if you want to do mix it with other dish as crockpots you can use a recipe from https://allgreatappliances.com/crockpot-prime-rib-recipe/.
