Green Lentil Salad With Avocado

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Green Lentil Salad with avocado, spinach, pomegranate arils and mandarin is not only incredibly tasty, but it is also a great immune system booster. All flavors in this salad make a perfect match. Serve it as a side dish or a yummy and satisfying vegan lunch.

Legume addition makes salad recipes even tastier and more nutritious. Just like our Mediterranean style black eyed pea salad, white bean salad and lentil salad with peaches, this lentil salad with avocado makes a healthy yet tasty lunch during summer.

This Avocado Green Lentil Salad is such a super salad packed with vitamins and it has a high nutritional value due to all the ingredients it has. Most of you might think that fall is not a season for salads. Sorry I completely disagree. We need vitamins in this season and a healthy salad always keeps you from getting sick. Salad might be a lunch on its own in summer, but in fall it has to be a side. That’s the only difference. We should always have this kind of salad no matter what the season is.

Abıut The Ingredients

It is possible to adjust this green lentil salad recipe according to season. It could absolutely be made of avocado and lentils only, but I love to add some other seasonal ingredients in it. If we were in summer, I would combine avocado and lentils with tomatoes and cucumber, maybe even with watermelon slices. As we are in fall, I made it with spinach, pomegranate and mandarin. Just imagine the combination of these with nutty flavors of avocado and lentils. Super refreshing and warming at the same time! You will feel so energized after having this immune system booster salad!

Oh and if you want to add more nutrients to your salad, use Sprouted Lentils in it; either raw or cooked.

This green lentil salad is tangy as I think spinach leaves go perfect with lemon. I love the crispiness of spinach leaves and they are one of my favorite snacks. Just squeeze lemon on spinach leaves and gobble down! They add a lovely crunchiness to this salad too.

How To Make

Who doesn’t love when something is healthy and simple. This green lentil salad is one of the easiest healthy recipes. As easy and healthy as our Avocado Chickpea Salad.

Just toss all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until all flavors blended. Taste it and make any adjustments you need.

So what are you waiting for? Run into the kitchen and make this easy peasy salad for your lunch or dinner!

    Hi there,
    Do you boil the lentils yourself? For how long?
    Thanks
    Kate

      Hi Kate! Yes, I boil it myself. It depends on the lentils I use. Not all green lentils cook with the same duration. Mostly they cook within 30-40 minutes. You need to check if they are tender enough.
