Black Lentil Salad
Kelly Jensen
Black lentil salad is a vibrant and hearty lunch or dinner that's loaded with fresh garden vegetables. This salad is tossed with a simple 5-minute Dijon vinaigrette that brightens every bite of this salad. I love enjoying this salad as a lunch or a light dinner in the summer when tomatoes and cucumbers are in season. Serve with a slice of no knead crusty bread and you have a delicious lentil salad in no time.
