Recipe Notes
This recipe makes a lot, so I often cut it in half.
The leftovers keep for quite a while, and it's a good as a side dish or in a main-dish salad.
I've never bothered to rinse the lentils and don't find the dip too salty.
You can add a dash of red pepper flakes and some cumin to spice it up a bit.
