Lentil Quinoa and Mung Bean Salad

  • Salad
Lentil Quinoa and Mung Bean Salad

Packed with fiber, protein, and potassium and lightly dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. This is a family favorite that is always requested for cookouts. I sometimes add a little honey as the acid in lemons can vary depending on the lemon that is used. Top each serving with a little feta, if desired.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dried green mung beans

  • 4 cups water, plus more for soaking

  • ½ cup green lentils, rinsed

  • 1 bay leaf
