Excel-lentil Salad
/When I really started making the shift towards a pure wholehearted lifestyle change, I had a dish I couldn’t stop making over and over again.
Why? Because it’s just that good!
At first, I started making it for myself. Then I started doubling the recipe and making it for parties and potlucks. This dish also has the ability to preserve well in the fridge for a work week’s worth of lunches or dinners.
I just made this one too damn tough, didn’t I?
