Hearty, healthy salad

This is a perfect salad for a quick packed lunch. The ingredients hold really well and taste better with time!

Start by rinsing a half can of puy lentils. Next chop up the tomatoes, some yellow pepper, a few baby corns (real name anyone?), a good chunk of cucumber, some feta cheese, half an avocado and a small amount of red onion. Toss this with your greens (your choice but something neutral like spinach or beets lets the other flavours out). You need a good bunch or parsley in here too; adds a surprising bite.

Now drizzle on the dressing, a basic one like equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar is perfect. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and maybe some salt.

I love the balance of protein, fats and vegetables in this recipe, it really fills you up for the afternoon! Enjoy!
