Lentil Taco Salad

We use this lentil mixture for real tacos as well, but it makes a very nice salad. I like two of Trader Joes salsas for taco salad. One is a bottled red medium salsa and the other is the fresh roasted tomato salsa. Get extra and serve with some blue corn chips.

  15. Fresh corn kernels (optional)
  16. 1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  17. Favorite salsa for dressing
