Easy Healthy Recipe: Lentil & Carrot Salad

Here is an easy healthy recipe that incorporates vegetables, herbs and legumes in a delicious side dish carrot salad recipe.

The combination of fresh and dried herbs, lemon juice and olive oil make this healthy salad recipe both tasty and extremely nutritious.

A good olive oil is a very healthy fat and great for any healthy eating plan, but if you want a very healthy and low fat recipe just lighten up on the oil a bit.

This recipe is great for every day healthy family meals and would be a wonderful addition to a buffet table. It's a great addition to your recipe box.

In a saucepan; combine lentils, carrots, garlic, bay leaf and thyme. Add enough water to cover by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain, discarding bay leaf.

Transfer lentil mixture to a bowl. Add onion, celery, parsley, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss to mix. Let cool to room temperature before serving or keep in the refrigerator once cooled.
