I really felt like having a quick vegan lentil salad today. Red lentils are ideal for this because they are ready in about 10 minutes! Thanks to their high protein content and lots of fiber, you can even treat yourself to a second serving.
A touch of the Orient in your kitchen
The aromatic spices give the salad an oriental note - perfect for hot summer days. If the lentils are already pre-cooked, you only need a few minutes for the rest and your quick lentil salad is ready. Bell peppers and spring onions, together with roasted pine nuts, provide a good bite, while half a sweet apple adds a fruity freshness!
