Day 3 of the blogging marathon with theme “Summer Salads”. For today we have a simple Indian salad that is very easy to make. I did not cook the lentils, but you could microwave it for a couple of minutes if you do not like the raw taste of lentils. It was a light evening snack and a healthy one too. A nice variation would be to add shredded carrots. Off to the recipe.
