Another packable lunch item: lemony lentil salad. Brown lentils, orange and red bell pepper, scallions, and a dressing made of extra-virgin olive oil, whole-grain Dijon mustard, fresh squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
Yes, I know whole-grain Dijon mustard has been making a lot of appearances on this blog lately. But it is so delicious. It has a really great rich, wintery flavor.
I've been really into lentils lately because I've learned that they are a great source of protein, folate, and iron. The bell peppers add vitamin C and carotenoids, making this a really nutritious salad. Eat with a sandwich or pita, and you have a great lunch! Cheers.
