    Lentil salads are worth the attention

    Lentils are some of my favorite legumes in the winter. I live in a cold climate and have a hard time eating cucumber and tomato salads unless it is summer and hot.

    Beans, lentils, and chickpeas combined with other vegetables make a great addition to our meals in the winter.

    As you probably know already, lentils are nutritious and balanced, providing proteins, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

    This humble legume lowers cholesterol, helps with digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and overall, it is a delicious and economical way to feed a family.

    You can use them in soups, salads, and stews and combine them with many other vegetables and meats.

    I sometimes buy them already cooked, but if they are not available in this form, you can cook them at home, which is very easy.

    How to cook lentils

    Use 3 cups of water for every cup of lentils. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender but not mushy.

    If you use brown lentils, the most common type, they cook in about 30 minutes. The best way to check if they are done is to taste them.

    How to make

    The salad I will share with you today is a simple salad made with lentils, walnuts, cilantro, and green onions, topped with Feta cheese (I love Feta, especially the one made from sheep milk which is the best!).

    The dressing for this salad is effortless to make and super delicious. A little bit of olive oil, a little bit of vinegar OR lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and you are done.

    This salad can be served with my favorite chicken schnitzels!
