It's basically a package of Trader Joe's precooked lentils, mixed with a jar of their bruschetta dip. You can switch it up however you want. I added some lime juice and cilantro. It's very good and a nice, inexpensive lunch option. It would be great atop salad greens.
We actually eat this warm and use it as a dip. We sprinkle feta on top. It’s delish!
Going to do this, for sure. I have been addicted to those lentils for years, but never tried the bruschetta dip. Thanks!

Yum. Dinner solved, thanks. Trying to decide if I’m going to add bacon. What would be a good bacon substitute? Maybe some chopped smoky almonds….
I would just go ahead and add bacon, but I also recently made crispy seasoned chickpeas (just peel, season, and bake until crispy) to top salads with and you can season however you want and they offer a nice crunch -- you could season with chipotle chili power or similar to get a smokiness.
Perfect! I’ve been meaning to make crispy chick peas.

I toasted sourdough and put the portobellos with hummus, red peppers, feta, and arugula and a little drizzle of balsamic. It felt so gourmet compared to my usual work lunches.
That sounds terrific
