This Mediterranean Black Lentil Salad is the ONE you need to take to every potluck, picnic and/or party that you're invited to! It's loaded with healthy ingredients, can be made ahead and is irresistibly delicious (even to kale and lentil naysayers!)
Add the chopped almonds and lemon zest and cook, stirring occasionally, until the almonds are golden.
Turn off the heat and add the cumin seeds and crushed red pepper (if using). Stir to combine. (the residual heat from the oil will bloom those spices and bring out their flavors)
See Café Tips above in the post for more detailed instructions and tips to ensure success.
If you prefer to use Metric measurements there is a button in each of our recipes, right above the word “Instructions”. Just click that button to toggle to grams, milliliters, etc. If you ever come across one of our recipes that doesn't have the Metric conversion (some of the older recipes may not), feel free to leave a comment and I will add it.
