lentil salad

Cold pulse bowl

Lentil salad is a cold dish of cooked lentils mixed with vegetables, herbs, and dressing.

Unlike grain salads, lentils hold their shape while absorbing flavors.

Common additions include diced onion, tomato, parsley, and vinaigrette: I brought lentil salad to the potluck.

The dish appears frequently in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
