Tip:
Cook lentils and beans in larger batches and freeze 2 cup portions of cooked lentils / beans for convenient future use.
Or simply make multiple meals including lentils like lentil soup, dip or other rice and lentil dishes within 2 days with the extra lentils.
Keep extra lentils in the fridge for up to two days or several weeks in your freezer in portion size containers.
In this salad fresh mint and parsley provide a refreshing flavour. Creamy avocado chunks, lentils and lemon juice make up a great balance of moisture and healthy oils.
For extra crunch we have added cucumber chunks into this recipe.
Enjoy this salad for its lentil protein power and juicy vegetables, fresh mint and parsley are refreshing, breath freshening and loaded with chlorophyll.
Optional: A great addition to most salads is 1 Tbsp of ground flax seeds. These fragile little seeds are loaded with Omega 3 oils and best ground immediately prior use; this way the oils stay intact and fresh.
