Red Lentil Salad
Lentils have been an important staple of human diets for millennia. Evidence of domesticated lentils have been found on the banks of the Euphrates River, in what is now northern Syria, dating back to 8000 BC.
These little legumes have stood the test of time thanks to their hearty nutritional value and ease of preparation. Red Lentil Salad is just one way to enjoy these legumes. When combined with quinoa, cabbage, pepper, parsley and lemon, we get a light, but filling dish with intense flavor. A Feta topping provides a smooth, savory finish.
