    This is one of my new favorite salads! I don’t often like cold lentil or rice salads but find this delicious! The corn and red peppers give it a nice festive coloration and the pickles offer a slight tangy taste. I am not a huge fan of fresh dill or parsley but don’t find them overwhelming (they actually are a nice addition) in this dish.

    I’m always looking for ways to use lentils instead of meat and this salad has become a fast favorite of mine. I make it in bulk and toss it in lettuce wraps for a quick bite. Super yummy!

    I found 4 cups of water is just the right amount to fully cook everything. It uses up all the water and you don’t have to throw any of the nutrients away!
