Today we want to share a Salad that is packed with proteins, that is versatile, that can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until lunchtime or dinner, you can also eat it in small portions as a post-workout snack.

when I have a busy day, I like to prepare the lentils in advance, let them cool and keep it in the fridge. In that way, I can enjoy it at dinner time with all the family as a side dish paired with baked salmon.

In other words, dinner will be easy to prepare as the oven will do all the job for me cooking the salmon and the salad will require only mixing the ingredients and adding the vinaigrette.
