Creamy Lentil Salad

Description

Although ‘creamy’ tells us it probably isn’t healthy, these combined healthy ingredients provide a creamy texture that I just can’t resist. After wanting to recreate a lentil salad I had from a local market, I realized I had made a salad more delicious than I had intended and it was nothing like I had been attempting to make. This salad is great as a side dish, a main salad, served on top of brown rice, or on top of a bed of lettuce.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water, or as needed
  • ½ cup dry lentils
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
