Meet my favorite Mediterranean Lentil Salad<\/strong>. It’s quick, easy and full of happy sunshine! Sunshine that comes from all those tasty Mediterranean flavors of fresh lemon, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, herbs upon herbs, pine nuts and of course, a nice pile of French green lentils. Don’t forget shavings of parmesan and some salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which type of lentils are best for a lentil salad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use French green lentils for this salad, but you could use black beluga lentils, which are my other<\/em> favorite lentils for salads. They\u2019re called beluga lentils because they resemble caviar. I like them because they also retain their shape nicely. And smaller than green lentils, they are super cute!<\/p>\n\n\n

As humble as lentils are, they are super versatile and tasty. And as their own sort of “super food” they\u2019re loaded with protein, fiber, iron, and lots of other goodness. I have so much love for them I even dedicated a post to just cooking lentils! Their flavor is quite earthy, so they go well with Mediterranean flavors: like salty, tangy, bright and fresh flavors. In this case, capers, lemon and of course fresh herbs, since they are the quintessential taste of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n
