Instructions

In a salad bowl, smash half of the cooked lentils with the back of a spoon or fork.
Mix in feta, parsley, onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the lentil dip; adjust seasoning to taste.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the sliced bread on a baking tray and toast for about 5 minutes until golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Optionally, toast slices using a toaster or skillet for a different approach.
Spread a generous spoonful of the lentil dip on each slice of toasted bread. For added flavor, rub each slice with garlic before adding the dip. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, ensure the feta is vegetarian-friendly.
Try adding other herbs like basil or mint for a fresh twist.
This dip can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to three days.
