One of the best ways to cool off in the summer is with a cold salad. We are easily bored with leafy green salads and usually want a little more protein in our meal. When we feel the need to have a light, healthy and cheap option we turn to a tangy lentil salad. This recipe came about when we happened to throw together some ingredients we had around the house, and it had a decidedly Mediterranean feel! This works great as both a side dish or a full entree. It’s also cheap, as lentils, garbanzos, and the veggies are inexpensive.
Est. Price: $6.75
