Green Lentil Salad is a quick, delicious salad you can eat as a main dish or a side salad.

Green Lentil Salad uses crisp lentils and crunchy vegetables.

Green Lentil Salad

Green lentils are wonderful because they retain their shape and can be cooked crisp. They don't get mushy easily like the brown, yellow, or red ones.  For this Green Lentil Salad, I used some lentils I had previously cooked. Then I added a few raw vegetables, an apple and a nice vinaigrette to create a scrumptious main dish salad.

Since the dressing doesn't use mayonnaise, this is a great picnic or potluck recipe. And since it's vegan, nearly everyone can eat it. If you don't have precooked green lentils, they are easy to make. See our French Green Lentils recipe.

What You Need

For this recipe you need measuring cups and spoons, a good knife, cutting board, mixing bowl, and organic green lentils (affiliate link), of course. Try to get the organic kind of lentil if you can.
