Lentil Hummus
I don't cook much, and this is my first recipe post, so here goes:
I made a goal this month of NOT grocery shopping until we are out of options for food. The idea is to clean out the freezer and pantry, which have been stuffed with food we don't even know we have. I found a bag of dried lentils, found some recipes on the internet, and modified them to suit my diet.
I should add that I could not stand the taste of lentils when I first had them. That's why the extra bag was still in the pantry. This recipe worked well for me, I hope someone else likes it too!
1 pound dried lentils
3 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
Boil the lentils until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse, add to blender (food processor might work better, I don't have one) All all other ingredients, blend. It's easy!

That's because it doesn't exist. Hummus = chickpeas. This is lentil "dip." Looks yummy though. Just rename it please, for the love of languages...0
