Instructions

In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil with the red lentils. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until the lentils are tender and the water is absorbed (or follow package instructions).
Once the lentils are cooked, transfer them to a large food processor and add the salsa, parsley, nutritional yeast, garlic, and onion powder.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Serve the dip with your favorite corn chips.

Notes

Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy boost.
Herb Variations: Try using cilantro or basil instead of parsley for a different flavor profile.
Creamier Texture: Blend in coconut milk or vegetable broth for an even smoother, creamier dip.
