#GoldenApron23#week5, I have substitute couscous with this healthy salad, a lip smacking way to enjoy whole brown lentil or red lentil salad, this nutrient packed and healthy lentil is combined with fresh veggies, a tangy dressing of lemon juice, green chillies, olive oil, freshly ground pepper in the dressing rounds off the flavors well. A great way to get all the nutrients in one time ( protein, fiber, iron and B complex vitamins).
