About

Lentils are an all-star member of the legume family, full of fiber, protein, magnesium, and iron. Since lentils cook relatively quickly, this salad is a snap to prepare.

Ingredients

1 cup (190 g) brown or green lentils, rinsed in a fine-mesh strainer
2 cups

Method

Combine the rinsed lentils, water, garlic, and bay leaves in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Drain in a fine-mesh strainer, place in a bowl, and season with ½ teaspoon salt, tossing
