This Lemony Lentil Salad is super easy, super tasty, and super healthful. You can use any lemon-friendly salad dressing you like, I like to use Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked lentils – brown lentils or green lentils both work just fine
  • 1 spring onion or 5 green onions
  • 2 Tbsp. lemony salad dressing like Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest

Preparation:

  1. Put the lentils in a large bowl. Chop the spring onion or green onions and add them to the lentils.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the dressing and lemon zest. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the extra-lemon-ed dressing over the lentils and toss to combine thoroughly.

Makes 6 to 8 servings Lemony Lentil Salad.
