Lentil salad is a versatile and nutritious dish rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, celebrated for its vibrant flavors and health benefits. Typically featuring cooked lentils, fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions, and herbs such as parsley or cilantro, it’s dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of salt and spices. Lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, making this salad a filling and heart-healthy option. Olive oil provides healthy fats, while the fresh vegetables add antioxidants and vitamins. Low in saturated fat, it’s suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. However, sodium levels can increase if seasoned heavily. This colorful, nutrient-packed dish works as a side or a standalone meal, providing a delicious way to support balanced eating.
