LENTIL, BLACK BEAN, AND VEGGIE SALAD

Makes 5 2-cup servings. Lasts all week in the fridge, perfect for people with little time for daily meal prep!

*Could easily replace Greek dressing with any other oil & vinegar based dressing; beans and/or lentils could be switched out for other hearty legumes like chick peas, etc. according to your likes and dietary needs/restrictions.

Green Lentils, cooked and cooled, 2 cups
Black Beans, cooked and cooled, 1 cup
Baby Carrots, raw, chopped, 1.5 cup
Celery, raw, chopped, 1.5 cup
Red Bell Pepper, raw, chopped, 1 cup
Purple/red onion, raw, chopped, 0.5 cup
Sugar Snap Peas, raw, chopped, 1 cup
Broccoli, raw, chopped, 2 cups
Kraft - Greek Vinaigrette With Feta Cheese and Oregano Salad Dressing, 150 ml

Lightly fold all ingredients together, careful not to mush the beans and lentils. Divide equally into 5 containers for ready-to-eat meals.

    It's really yummy, and filling too! My grandma used to make something similar. I never got a recipe from her so this is my own version trying to recreate it.
