This salad is a tasty way to get some more protein and dietary fiber into your day! Lentils are also a good source of iron, and the vitamin C in the fruit and veggies makes it easier for your body to absorb. It can be easily adapted based on your flavor preferences or ingredient availability. I used arugula in the video in place of cilantro or parsley because the grocery store was low on fresh herbs. Feel free to make it your own! Recipe from Cooking Matters: http://cookingmatters.org/recipes/lentil-mango-salad.

What you will need

1 cup dried brown or green lentils

1 medium mango or apple

1 medium bell pepper

1 large lemon

1/4 cup canola or olive oil

1/2-1 teaspoon cumin or curry powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

1/2 cup chopped parsley and/or cilantro

1/2 cup chopped walnuts, other toasted seeds or nuts, and/or unsweetened shredded coconut
