Lemony Lentil Salad With Salmon image

From EatingWell: Summer 2004, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008), and The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006). Salmon and lentils are a familiar combo in French bistro cooking; here they combine in a quick and easy salad. For the best presentation, flake the salmon with a fork, then stir gently into the salad to keep it in chunks, not tiny bits.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of protein and fiber. The lentils and salmon are both excellent sources of these nutrients. The dressing is also very healthy, as it is made with olive oil and lemon juice.

This is one of my favorite recipes. It's so easy to make and always a hit with my friends and family. The lentils are a great source of protein and fiber, and the salmon is a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids.
