How to make Lentil and Bean Salad
If using dried red lentils, cook according to the directions on the package, or add 1 part red lentils to 1.5 parts of water with a little salt in a pot.
Depending on how tender you like your lentils, bring them to a boil and then simmer them for 12 to 15 minutes.
Once the lentils are cooked, add a little more salt to the dish.
For more flavor, you could also cook them in vegetable broth.
Cut the bell pepper and spring onions in the meantime. Grate the garlic as well.
All the ingredients, including the lentils and beans, should be placed in a large bowl.
If using, add the tomato sauce last, stir it up, take a taste, and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Enjoy….
