Not only is this salad extremely tasty, it’s also unbelievably easy to throw together, making it the perfect on-the-go meal. I’ve taken it to work with me nearly every day for the last week and it always leaves me feeling full and satisfied.
This delicious and easy salad would make a wonderfully satisfying meal or appetizer. Better yet, you can prepare this salad ahead of time and easily take it with you to work or school.
1/2 cup cooked lentils
4-5 large handfuls arugula
1 small sweet potato, diced and steamed or roasted
2-3 Tbs. chopped walnuts
1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
juice from 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
large pinch of dried parsley (optional)
Plate the arugula on two separate plates. Top with lentils, sweet potatoes, and walnuts.
To make the dressing, blend or whisk the rest of the ingredients together until evenly combined. Drizzle dressing over the salad.
Serve and enjoy!
