Apples with Green Lentils - New York Apple Association

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked green lentils
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 medium sweet-tart apples, cut into thin strips
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2-3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh mint chopped
• 2 stalks celery chopped
• Dressing of choice
• Cook the lentils according to package instructions, until they are tender to the bite.
• While the lentils are cooking, cut your apples into strips and toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice. Chill them in the refrigerator.
• Once the lentils are done cooking, drain them and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Pour them into a large bowl and cool them in the fridge.
• When the lentils and apple are cooled, toss them together and add the remaining ingredients.
• Toss with your favorite dressing (we like tahini, lemon and garlic).
• Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving.
