Story

If you're trying to add more healthy forms of protein to your diet, lentils are a great choice. However, if you're like me, you get tired of eating lentil soup. This salad is a wonderful way to eat lentils without getting bored with your choices. I love the tangy red wine vinegar dressing.
You may also want to dice up some fresh celery and onion and toss with your lentil salad before serving for a little extra crunch.
