Hummus of lentils is a flavorful twist on traditional hummus, substituting chickpeas with nutrient-rich lentils. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, it blends cooked lentils with olive oil, tahini (ground sesame seeds), garlic, lemon juice, and spices like cumin or paprika for a creamy and satisfying dip or spread. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as iron and magnesium, lentils make this hummus a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and sustained energy. The use of olive oil adds healthy fats beneficial for cardiovascular health, while tahini contributes antioxidants and additional healthy fats. However, it’s worth noting that higher portions of olive oil or tahini can increase calorie content, so mindful servings may be ideal for those monitoring caloric intake. A versatile and nutritious dish, lentil hummus pairs well with fresh veggies, whole-grain crackers, or as a topping for bowls and wraps.
