Lentils are packed with protein, iron and fiber – which makes this salad super filling and satisfying. We combine the cooked lentils with fresh greens and veggies, then toss with a tangy citrusy vinaigrette. This hearty lentil salad has all the flavor, crunch and freshness to have as a lunch meal or a tasty side dish for dinner.
