Chopped Lentil Salad + Tahini Dressing

You have to try this very easy, quick and healthy chopped salad. It is a favorite of mine and I make it all the time.

Ingredients

• 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes

• 3 small Persian cucumbers

• 1 red onion, chopped

• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils (I always keep a few jars of these on hand)

Dressing

• 2 Tbs olive oil

• 2 Tbs water

• 3 Tbs tahini

• 1 garlic clove

• 2 Tbs lemon juice

• 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

• 1 Tbs maple syrup

• Salt + pepper, to taste

Instructions

• Blend the dressing ingredients and add to the rest of the salad ingredients and mix well

• I do marinate the tomatoes in a little olive oil and salt for an hour or so to bring out the flavor before adding it but it is not essential

Notes

• This is such a versatile salad and you can add any of your favorites e.g. avocado, cabbage, chopped red peppers
