Lentils are a great addition to any dish \u2014 or as the main ingredient in one. That\u2019s because these healthy legumes are loaded with protein<\/a>, fiber<\/a>, iron<\/a>, and they cook up in no time. Toss them with this flavorful, homemade dressing recipe and your favorite cooked or raw vegetables<\/a> to create a perfectly complete (vegan) lentil salad meal. It packs 15 grams of fiber and 17 grams of protein per serving.<\/p>\n
