LENTIL SALAD

Lentil Salad image

I love lentils. They are a wonderful source of fiber and I use them in many dishes. Canned lentils are a great time-saver, and this salad can be ready in just a few minutes. It can be easily doubled or tripled, so it's perfect to take along to a picnic or add to a buffet table.
