This dip is extremely versatile in the ways it can be served. My favorite ways to serve this lentil dip is with crackers, vegetables, garlic bread, tortilla chips, or pita bread. Honestly, anything you have that is good for dipping will be delicious with this 3-ingredient lentil dip!

I also love eating this on its own because it is high in plant-based protein, which keeps me full and satisfied.

No Trader Joe’s?

If you don’t have access to a Trader Joe’s, no worries. You can still make this dip with ingredients from a different grocery store! There might just be a few more steps.

You can buy dry lentils and cook them up, or you can see if your grocery store carries pre-cooked lentils. As for the bruschetta, I know that most stores carry pre-made bruschetta dip. If you’re really feeling fancy, you can make your own! Feta cheese is feta cheese and can be purchased at any grocery store.
