Lentil Walnut Dip

This afternoon we were having soup and I got ambitious and made Lentil Walnut Dip. It was really good! I toasted the walnuts in my good 'ol cast iron pan (watch them like a hawk!) and added water slowly to the blender to keep everything going. I just threw stuff in a little at a time until it was aaaaallll gone. And I didn't use any lemon juice. It kind of freaked out my blender a few times when there was an air pocket- it's thick stuff!

1 C french lentils, uncooked
1 C walnuts, toasted
1 clove garlic
1 T olive oil
1 t salt
1 C water

Blend everything together, adding lentils, then walnuts, then garlic, then lentils, then walnuts then water as needed until it all blends together.
I imagine you could use canned lentils, too, if you were in an allfired hurry (although they'd be brown lentils, then. Maybe it would change the texture too much).
