Instructions

In a salad bowl, mash half of the lentils with the back of a spoon or fork. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the sliced bread on a baking tray and toast until golden and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, toast using a toaster or skillet.
Top each slice of toasted bread with a generous spoonful of the lentil dip. For added flavor, rub each slice with a garlic clove before adding the lentils. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

For a variation, try adding diced tomatoes or bell peppers to the lentil mix.
Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.
Store any leftover lentil dip in an airtight container in the fridge.
