I always keep few recipe up my sleeves to utilize leftovers. This creamy lentil dip is made with leftover lentils from other day lentils soup. However, you are most welcome to make it with fresh cooked lentils and recipe below provides complete steps for making this dip from scratch. Special touch was, addition of lemon juice which marinates the red onion to make'em mild and also adds to the tangy taste of sour cream. A perfect dip for parties, serve with side of Tortillas or Rosemary Crisps.
