Fresg and delicious salad with lentils in 25 minutes!
An easy, quick & super nutritious vegan recipe.

Easy, quick and delicious vegan Mediterranean salad with lentils. It is very economical as with 1.5 euros you can make 4 individual salads. Super nutritious as it is rich in iron, fiber, vitamin A and potassium (and with significant amounts of protein and vitamin C).

Ideal for the summer months when we want something refreshing, light and nutritious, but also for those days when cooking time is minimal.

We can serve it as a salad, appetizer or main dish.

Enjoy! 🙂
