Chickpea-Lentil Salad image

This salad is a rare healthy favorite for my picky husband. It's best in the summer months when fresh local tomatoes are available. We eat it as a light dinner, or as a side dish for summer BBQs. Enjoy!

I'm allergic to chickpeas, so I substituted black beans. The salad was still delicious!

I packed this salad for lunch and it held up really well. The dressing didn't make the salad soggy.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I found this salad to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil in the dressing.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked a more flavorful dressing.
