Have I been living under a rock? It seems like so many of you have been making this dip for ages, and I’m just now discovering it! My cousin Sarah brought this to a family party, and I couldn’t stop eating it. This Trader Joe’s Lentil Bruschetta Dip has just four ingredients and is so delicious. Cooked lentils, pre-made bruschetta sauce, cucumbers, and feta come together to make a delicious, chunky, and crunchy dip that is perfect for a quick and healthy appetizer.

SO ADDICTING and SO GOOD. I have literally made this 4 times in 2 weeks. I’m not kidding. Even my kids—who usually think lentils are weird—can’t stop eating it. One of my followers messaged me to tell me that because of this dip, their kids love and even crave lentils! I can attest that this is true for me too because my kids love this dip.

This lentil dip will stay good in the fridge for up to a couple of days when kept in an airtight container.

Ingredients for Trader Joe’s Lentil Bruschetta Dip

These ingredients are from Trader Joe’s, but I know not everyone has one nearby. Hopefully, you can find similar versions at your local grocery store.

Here’s what you need:
Chopped Mini Cucumbers

I like to use mini Persian cucumbers because they are so crispy. An English cucumber will work, too, but I really prefer mini cucumbers because they stay crispy in this dip.

Cooked Lentils

For this recipe, I use pre-cooked Lentils from Trader Joe’s. They are lightly seasoned with a little garlic, onion & salt flavor. I’m sure canned lentils or home-cooked lentils would work as well. I used about half of the pack for this recipe, or about 1 cup. You can find these in the refrigerated section of Trader Joe’s.

Feta Cheese

Any feta cheese will work. I used plain unseasoned feta cheese. You can use your favorite.

Bruschetta Sauce

If you’re unfamiliar with bruschetta, it’s an Italian appetizer consisting of grilled or toasted bread topped with olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and herbs. It’s so yummy. It’s kind of like Italian chips and salsa. Don’t come for me, Italians!

I like the Trader Joe’s bruschetta sauce that is in the plastic container, not the jar. It is so flavorful and delicious. It’s the perfect base for this dip. I’m sure that there is an equivalent at your local grocery store. But if you can’t find any you can totally make your own. Just chop up tomatoes and combine them with olive oil, garlic, salt, and chopped fresh basil in a bowl.

I have also heard that this is delicious with pico de gallo too.

How to Serve Trader Joe’s Lentil Bruschetta Dip

To serve this dip, mix everything together in a large bowl. Serve with your favorite chips or crackers. I love tortilla chips—especially blue corn chips—and always have them on hand so they’re a go-to for me. This dip would also be delicious with some crostini or a toasted baguette situation.

Some of my readers have messaged me to they enjoy this dip the following ways:

on a salad
as a topping on a toasted baguette
with other ingredients like diced red onion, avocado, and chopped bell pepper

So many of you have messaged me with your own fun variations. I love it! Drop yours in the comments below so more people can try them.

I have been using this as a salad topping for the last few days. All you have to do is throw a scoop on some greens and add avocado and shredded chicken and you have a tasty and filling salad!

Another vegetable forward appetizer I’ve been loving lately is my Veggie Loaded Hummus Dip. If you’re looking for something a little bit more indulgent, you can try my family’s favorite creamy bean dip. A beautiful and easy appetizer option is my Pear and Ricotta Baguettes. Any of these appetizers will be perfect for your next gathering.

Happy Cooking!
