How to prep the salad

First off, you’ll need to cook the lentils. Once cooked, they need to be brought down to room temperature or colder, so making them ahead will be beneficial. If you want to simplify, you could always buy some precooked lentils.

Next, be sure to properly clean and dry all of your produce before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent any bacteria from growing and will also ensure that the salad dressing sticks properly. Last, just chop all of the ingredients and toss them into a bowl. It is important to mix the salad dressing in a separate container prior to pouring it over the salad. This will make sure the flavors blend completely.

Once made, this salad will only last a couple of days in the fridge, so be sure to eat it right away!
