Trader Joe's Lentil Bruschetta Feta Dip

Trader Joe's Lentil Bruschetta Feta Dip is a quick and easy throw-together idea that is great for cookouts, game nights, parties, or even a light lunch! The original version uses just three Trader Joe's products (lentils, bruschetta sauce, and feta cheese), but this one breaks things down just a bit more to take advantage of garden fresh summer tomatoes when they are in season.

Instructions

  1. Set aside a small handful of the diced tomatoes, a few of the basil leaf strips, and a tablespoon or two of the feta cheese.
  2. Chop the tomatoes and mince the garlic. Slice the basil leaves into thin strips by stacking the leaves and rolling them like a cigar. Then use a sharp knife to slice them, known as a "chiffonade".
  3. Combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss to combine.
  4. Add the lentils and feta, then stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the reserved tomatoes, basil, and feta.
  5. Serve with sliced baguette, crackers, sliced cucumbers, flat pretzels, or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Lentils: Trader Joe's and Melissa's Produce both make steamed lentils that work great, but you can buy 8 ounces of uncooked lentils and steam them yourself if you prefer.
  • Easy version: If you want to skip making your own bruschetta, you can just use a container of Trader Joe's bruschetta along with the lentils and feta for a 3-ingredient version.
  • Basil: If your leaves are small, you may need more like 20 leaves.
