We would like to introduce you to our latest creation, lentil bruschetta dip. It’s literally the easiest, most delicious, crowd pleasing and knock your socks off recipe you’ll ever taste. It’s a perfect appetizer. Just serve with your favorite chips, crackers or pita bread. You could even just eat it with a spoon! We don’t ever judge for those kinds of things.
Now I’m not kidding when I tell you this dip is easy to make. All you really need to do is head to your local Trader Joe’s for the following ingredients. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s by you, I am sure you can find these items at your local grocery store. I mean, I really hope you can. If not, you can improvise and cook your own lentils and make your own bruschetta but we clearly didn’t do any of that for this recipe. We let our friend TJ do all the work!
All you need is steamed lentils. (They come in this fabulous vacuum packed casing) TJ’s pre-made bruschetta (if you’ve never had this, you will freak out, it’s so dang good), Feta cheese, kalamata olives, fresh basil and a cucumber. In our true GTK fashion, we like to keep our recipes really simple and this one is no exception.
All you are going to do is add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir it together. Seems easy enough right? Add this one to your list for your next entertaining event and your guests will love you forever! This is also delicious to have on hand in the fridge for a couple days for some healthy snacking.
