Lovely Lentil Salad


Lentils are so good and good for you, and this recipe is ideal for taking to parties: it travels well since there’s no lettuce involved. Lentils are easy to cook (there’s usually a recipe right on the bag) or use canned lentils, as time allows.



  • 2 c. lentils, cooked and cooled

  • 1 c. celery, medium chop

  • 1 c. carrots, thinly sliced

  • 1 small red onion, diced

  • Italian dressing, bottled or fresh

Salt and pepper

Mix the first four ingredients gently. Season with salt and pepper then add Italian salad dressing to taste. Mix again and chill for an hour, if you can wait that long! It’s also very good at room temperature. If you do make fresh lentils, take care to avoid over-cooking.

Tip: Celery absorbs liquid so easily that it has a tendency to get mushy if it sits too long. You want it crunchy celery. If you are taking this dish to a party, hold back your celery until right before serving.
