Easy Lentil Beet Salad

This salad couldn’t be easier. A snap to make and loaded with healthy ingredients. I used pre-cooked lentils and beets from Trader Joe’s found in the refrigerated produce section. The other add-ins can be changed up according to what you like and have on hand.

Lentil Beet Salad

1 pkg. Pre-cooked Lentils

1 pkg. Pre-cooked Beets

Zest and juice of one lemon

Chopped fresh parsley (as much as you like)

1 c. of toasted walnuts (or whatever nut you like)

1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil (more to moisten)

a few grinds of fresh black pepper

Himalayan pink salt (or other good quality salt) to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

So many more possibilities with this salad. You could swap out balsamic vinegar for the lemon juice. Add crumbled goat cheese or feta if you want to “kick it up a bit”.

Eat it just the way it is, or over a bed of arugula.

Enjoy!
