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.

Lentil and Carrot Salad

1 cup brown lentils
1 cup carrots, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

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.

A beautiful serving bowl makes your salads look even more appetizing and makes the dinner table welcoming and appealing. I love these:

This glass serving bowl is absolutely gorgeous and has so many uses. The carrot lentil salad on this page would be pretty served in this bowl on a buffet table.
