LENTIL, TOMATO & PARSLEY SALAD

One of the simplest salads I have ever made but also one of the freshest. My mother has made this lentil salad for years, it is like her ‘ole faithful’ side dish. Fresh tomatoes and parsley are a must and around 20 minutes of chopping is required, however it is worth the arm work. I consider myself one of the most impatient women on this earth and I was able to blast some music and get through the relentless chopping. Perfect as a summer or spring salad, I served it in winter alongside warm Lamb Kebabs (recipe tomorrow!).

INGREDIENTS

• 1 x 400g tin of brown lentils, rinsed & drained
• juice of 1/2 a lime

• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
