This Super Nutritious High Protein Lentil Salad is super healthy and it really packs a lot of goodness. It’s so easy to make and it can easily be packed for lunch at work.
Lentils are so amazing. They have a nutty flavor, and they are high in protein, fiber and they have complex carbohydrates. They are the ultimate healthy food you would want to include in your diet.
Lentils are so versatile, they can be put in salads, stews, soups, and much more!
Oh, and they are so yummy!
I have to say, lentils have been a staple in my diet long before I was vegan, I grew up eating lentils. My mom used to do this thick lentil stew, that was so delicious with crusty bread. Childhood favorites. Since then, I have always loved lentils.
How To Make Creamy Lentil Salad:
You will need the following ingredients:
1. Cooked Lentils (I used canned)
2. Hummus
3. Sun-Dried Tomatoes
