It’s the Turkish Lentil Salad this time. Meh, lentils, bell pepper, and onion, you might say.
But the dressing is always the most important component of vegetarian salad recipes. And the honey mustard dressing on this salad is so delicious you could probably eat it off of cardboard*.
High in protein, tasty, and extremely quick to prepare. I suggest pairing the salad with some bread or a small serving of rice.
