Instructions

In a salad bowl, place the lentils and smash half of them using the back of a spoon or a fork.
Add crumbled feta, chopped parsley, chopped onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the sliced bread on a baking tray and toast until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Alternatively, use a toaster or a skillet to toast the bread.
Top each slice of toasted bread with a generous spoonful of lentil dip. If desired, rub each slice with a garlic clove before adding the lentils. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Adjust seasonings according to your preference to enhance the flavor.
Serve immediately for the best taste, but it can also be stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
Feel free to add other toppings or spices for a personal touch.
