Fresh Coriander Lentil Dip
Fresh and light, this wonderful dip will have you reaching for more. Just don't eat it all in one sitting! This dip works great with pita bread, crackers, or veggie sticks. Or use it as a spread when making sandwiches! Will keep well for three days if refrigerated in an airtight container. If you're not a big fan of coriander try substituting in a different herb like parsley or basil.
