Due to an overwhelming response (thanks Wildernesschic!) here is a recipe for a fantastic lentil salad which my whole extended family is obsessed with. I don´t know where my mother originally got the recipe from, however it´s now considered one of her specialities.
The below recipe is for 2 cans of lentils, however the salad bowl in my previous post contains 6 cans!
----------------------------
2 tins canned lentils 400gr tins each, drained and rinsed, drained (browny coloured cooked lentils, usually from Italy)
3 limes or 6 tbsp lime juice
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
small to medium bunch fresh coriander, chopped finely
1 small chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped,
equal amounts of mild sweet chilli sauce, and extra virgin olive oil---I used 50 ml of each
salt and pepper
I have added chopped red capsicum, chopped cucumber and also 2 medium chopped tomatoes sometimes, and you can also add an extra tin of lentils, and just adjust the sauce quantity if you like or leave as is.
--------------------------
ENJOY!
And as it´s FULL of superfoods, you can (and should) eat big helpings :)
