Healthy and Delicious Lentil Beet Salad

Start by preparing all the ingredients. Begin with the boiled beetroot; you can steam or boil it until it’s tender. Once done, let it cool and then dice it into small cubes.

Next, cook the lentils according to the package instructions until they are soft but still hold their shape. Drain and set aside.

Grate the raw carrot and finely chop the red onion. Chop the fresh herbs as well, using parsley or cilantro for a fresh taste.

In a large bowl, mix together the boiled lentils, beet cubes, grated carrot, and chopped red onion.

Add in the fresh herbs to enhance the flavor. This combination creates not only a vibrant color but also a flavor-packed salad.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your preference for a zesty kick.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine everything evenly. The dressing should coat all the ingredients without being too heavy.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad can be served cold or at room temperature for a refreshing meal.
