Bruschetta and Lentil Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 package steamed lentils (refrigerated section of Trader Joe’s)
• 1 container bruschetta sauce (refrigerated section of Trader Joe’s)
• 1 handful chopped basil leaves
• 1 container crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• Crackers or pita chips (or cucumber slices)

Directions:

Mix the lentils, bruschetta, basil, and feta in a bowl until combined. Let the flavors marinate in the fridge for half an hour if you have time. Serve with pita chips or crackers.

*To really step up the health factor, you can eliminate the cheese and substitute the crackers with cucumber slices.
