Lentil Salad
This staple Mediterranean Salad can be fixed up ahead of time & served with many other salads or Salatim, as they are called in the Middle East. Hummus, Greek Cucumber & Tomato Salad, Tabouli, Fattoush or Panzanella Salad, etc. are all great choices if you want to have a meal of many yummy salads served with good Pita Bread.
I also really enjoy eating Lentil Salad for breakfast – maybe you do too?
