													Easy lentil hummus makes a nice change from regular hummus with chickpeas! This lentil dip recipe is made with yellow lentils, tahini, apricots, and a hint of spice! It goes together in minutes using a blender and makes a tasty sandwich spread, dip, or addition to a grain bowl.

                                Ingredients
- 3 cups of cooked lentils
 - ¼ cup of tahini
 - Juice of one lemon
 - 4 apricots
 - ⅓ cup of extra-virgin olive oil
 - 1 small Serrano pepper
 - 2 teaspoons of ground cumin and papirka
 - ¼ cup of sunflower seeds
 - 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
 - 1 teaspoon of dried onion powder
 - ¼ cup of roasted red bell pepper
 - 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic
 - ¼ cup of water
 
Optional Topping:
- 3 Tablespoons of chopped roasted red pepper
 - 1 teaspoon of water from roasted red peppers
 - 1 Tablespoon of finely chopped jalapeno
 - 2 Tablespoons of sunflower seeds
 - 1 Tablespoon of olive oil
 - 3 dried apricots
 
Instructions
Hummus:
- Add all of the ingredients except the water to the bowl of a food processor. Process on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Occasionally stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Use the water by the tablespoon to thin the hummus to the texture you like best.
 
Topping:
- Finely chop the dried apricots and roasted red pepper. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl, cover, and let marinate overnight or at least an hour. Add to the top of the hummus.

									                                Notes
- Don’t skip the topping! Yes, it’s optional but wow, it really adds a ton of flavor.
 - Adjust the spiciness. Add more or less serrano chile depending on how spicy you want it! You can also swap it for a milder or spicier type of chile.
 - No fresh apricots? That's ok. Swap the fresh for dried! Just hydrate them in hot water for about 15 minutes prior to adding them to the hummus. This will plump them back up so they can mix into the hummus.
