Meatless Monday – Mediterranean Lentil Salad

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Serves 2 as a main or 4 as a side

This is the easiest salad in the world. Probably. I love that with a few simple ingredients, almost zero chopping and a quick toss, you can magic this salad up in minutes! We find this so full of flavour that it doesn’t even need dressing, although if you like a quick squeeze of lemon juice might tickle your fancy. It’s delicious on it’s own and makes a  sensational side, especially with fish. Get it in your belly!

420g lentils, rinsed and drained

50g baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped

50g semi-dried tomatoes, drained
