If using dried lentils, cook to the package directions.
Drain and rinse the lentils, do this for the canned and the cooked lentils.
Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender or a food processor and process until smooth.
Scrap the sides down as you process the hummus.
If the hummus is too thick, add a little water while processing, about 1 Tbsp at a time, testing after each Tbsp.
Don't add more than 3 tablespoons, this will result in a soupy hummus.
Transfer the hummus to a bowl for serving.
Store the hummus in a container with a cover and place in the refrigerator.
Serve the hummus with chips and crackers, fresh vegetables, a sandwich spread, or top your favorite pasta, and ENJOY!
