Recipe Ingredients

1 can SPAR lentils, un-drained
30 g packet SPAR Freshline Mint, chopped to yield 125 ml
30 g packet SPAR Freshline Parsley (flat leaf or curly), chopped to yield 125 ml
½ bunch SPAR Freshline Spring Onions, chopped, include half the green tops
1 SPAR Freshline Ripe & Ready Hass Avocado Pear
1½ medium SPAR Freshline tomatoes, diced
½ SPAR Freshline English Cucumber, diced

Drain the liquid off the lentils and retain in a separate bowl.
Combine all the remaining salad ingredients with the lentils.
Mix the dressing ingredients together, and pour onto the salad, tossing to combine the ingredients well.

To extend this salad, cooked quinoa or soaked bulgur wheat may be added. Additions are fairly limitless to change the use of the salad eg feta and olives, pan-grilled SPAR Lean Bacon, roasted butternut chunks etc
To prepare and keep this salad well ahead of time, add the avocado pear closer to when you serve the salad.
A sprinkle of reduced-fat feta cheese on top is a great variation.
