Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cup cooked green lentils, drained
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
- 6 slices of bread (ciabatta or artisanal bread)
Instructions
- In a salad bowl, smash half of the lentils using the back of a spoon or a fork.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the smashed lentils to create the dip. Mix thoroughly and taste to adjust seasoning as needed.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lay the sliced bread on a baking tray and toast for about 5 minutes until golden, watching closely to prevent burning. Alternatively, toast the bread in a toaster or skillet.
- Top each slice of toasted bread with a generous spoonful of the lentil dip. If desired, rub each slice with a garlic clove before adding the dip. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use whole grain bread instead of ciabatta.
You can add chopped tomatoes or olives for extra flavor.
Make the dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge to save time.
