Lentil Salsa
Lentil Salsa
Lentils are either a hit or a miss: you either cook just enough, or far too many.
When you boil them for that delicious lentil soup or Indian style daal, what do you do with the rest? Instead of throwing them away, make this easy lentil salsa.
Serve with fresh vegetable sticks or crackers, or even as an appetizer! You can use any type of leftover lentils, so you can stop your lentils from becoming food waste.
