Nutritious Lentil Salad Recipe

Place lentils in a large pot with enough water to cover be a few inches. Bring to a boil and cook until lentils are tender about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water in a colander to cool. Let stand for a few minutes to drain well.

In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the red pepper onion and green olives and toss to blend. Refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving to blend the flavors. This salad tastes better the longer it sits.
