Black lentil salad with herbs

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Black lentils are cooked very easily and quickly. A glass of lentils is pre-sorted and rinsed. Then pour into boiling water. We will need 2-3 glasses of water, the water needs a little salt.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the lentils are cooking, prepare the greens. There should be a lot of greens in this salad. I take a bunch of parsley straight and cut only the leaves, because the denser stalks of parsley are a little bitter. And I wouldn't want that at all. And we begin to collect our salad

3. Step 3:

   

   Take a bunch of cilantro. This is a very fragrant green plant. The stems of cilantro are thinner, so I won't stand on ceremony with it and cut everything. A crispy celery stalk is just a dream for those who are on a diet. They say that the substances contained in its fibers burn a lot of calories, so feel free to add it to our salad.

5. Step 4:

   

   The lentils are ready. When boiling, the pigment colored the water, so our lentils are no longer so bright black. Pour out the remaining water, let the lentils cool down and mix it with the greens.

6. Step 5:

   

   To make the salad interesting and useful, we will make additional accents: coarsely chopped walnuts and dried cranberries in apple juice. We need nuts for texture and in general it is just a super food that is comparable in effectiveness to olive oil in its anti-inflammatory properties. Dried cranberries in apple juice contain a little sugar, but a lot of substances that strengthen the immune system.

7. Step 6:

   

   It remains to fill the salad with lemon juice, cold-pressed vegetable oil, salt and pepper. It turned out to be a healthy, delicious and satisfying dish! Be sure to try it! Enjoy your appetite and please be healthy!
