Tabouleh, the bright and herbaceous Eastern Mediterranean salad, is traditionally made with bulgur, parsley, tomatoes, lemon, and olive oil. When bulgur replaced with brown lentils, it transforms into a dish of nourishment and healing.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked brown lentils (al dente—not mushy!)
• 2 bunches flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
• 3 medium tomatoes finally chopped
• 4 scallions 
• Juice of 2–3 lemons
• 3–4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt to taste

Combine all and enjoy!
