As we head into party season, I wanted to share a favorite from the archives of my memories. Specifically, the Trader Joe’s demo station. During my time working at Tj’s, I occasionally manned the demo station. This particular dish stood above the rest. Customers loved the taste and simple execution. Us demo workers loved the lack of mess and ease of distribution ( we also liked that it wasn’t particularly kid-friendly, so they didn’t come back 15 times to take 15 tiny cups off the station — freeloaders).
While she’s not particularly cute, she is versatile.
Some ideal applications for this recipe:
- Potluck
- Girl Dinner
- Outdoor BBQ
- Super Bowl Sunday
- A vegetarian-friendly meal.
This works as a base for a larger meal (add chicken and salad greens) or as a healthy dip for a party (add chips or crackers).
Simple Lentil Salad
