Lentil Mediterranean Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 cup dry brown lentils
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
1
Combine the lentils, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme in a saucepan.
2
Add sufficient water to the mixture so that it is at least an inch above the ingredients; heat it up until a rolling boil, then decrease the temperature and let it cook without covering for 15 to 20 minutes or until the lentils become tender but still retain some firmness.
3
Remove the cooked ingredients from the saucepan and discard the bay leaf.
4
Add a generous amount of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, chopped celery, parsley, salt, and pepper to the mixture.
5
Mix everything together gently so that all the ingredients are well combined and serve at a comfortable room temperature.
