Ribboned Zucchini Salad With Lentils And Creamy Turmeric Dressing
Lentils add satisfying heft to this refreshing salad, which can be prepared in just 15 minutes. Raw zucchini ribbons are combined with juicy tomatoes and a creamy dressing to create a bowl full of fresh flavors and textures. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped scallions, and your lunch is ready to go.
Incorporating lentils is an easy way to add bulk to any salad. Here, they soak up a creamy dressing and complement the fresh crunch of ribboned zucchini. Note that this recipe calls for cooked lentils, so be sure to have those ready to go.
