Lentil and Apple Salad

-Serves 3
​

My hearty, healthy red lentil salad is not only ready in minutes but is an absolute treat for the tastebuds too. The secret to this recipe is using dried lentils and cooking them from scratch in a good vegetable stock for extra flavor. I love combining cooked, cooled lentils with sweet pomegranate, cucumbers, apple and feta, but you could pretty much use any crunchy vegetables of your choice.
