Pumpkin & Red Lentil Dip

Pumpkin & Red Lentil Dip

Pumpkin purée and red lentils transform into a smooth, savory dip when blended with a little olive oil and lemon juice. It’s a perfect autumn snack or lunch, served with bread, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Top with some chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch and torn parsley for some freshness!
