I could eat hummus like ice cream. It wouldn’t taste very good in a cone, but you get the gist.
Red lentils are underrated and have many health benefits. They are a great source of fibre and iron, help lower cholesterol, and are easy to digest. They only take 10 minutes to make, too. This hummus is delicious summer veggie dip. It can also be used as a spread on a fresh Veggie Wrap or sandwich.
