Basic Lentil Salad

by Stephanie

Lentils seem to be extremely popular again, and why not? They’re a perfect food. Lots of protein and nutrients. All natural. Very little fat. Eat ‘em up! Of course, they can be a little boring, and they do take a long time to cook. But with the right recipe and a little time invested (you don’t even have to be present!), you can be lunching on a vegetarian power selection!

Lentil Salad

1/2 lb Lentils; cooked (buy them in a bag, soak them overnight, then cook based on package directions)
1 Onion; diced
1 Garlic clove; pressed
3 c white wine
1 T Basil
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
4 T Parsley
1 T Lemon juice
4 T Oil
1 tomato, raw & diced
Lettuce

Combine lentils, onion, garlic, and wine; simmer three minutes. Remove
from heat; add remaining ingredients. Chill and serve on lettuce
leaves.
