A Lovely Lentil Salad

I'm not a fan of leafy salads. Infact, I like salads to have anything but leaves in them. This is a delicious and filling lentil salad that I whipped up.

A Lovely Lentil Salad

• 1 cup dry green lentils
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 whole cloves of garlic, bruised
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 6 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 3 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  
• 1 red onion, finely, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

1. Put the lentils, bay leaves, cloves of garlic and oregano into a pan, cover with water and cook for 30 minutes until soft.
2. Meanwhile put the oil, vinegar, garlic, cumin and mint into a jug and whisk until mixed.
3. When the lentils are drained and cooled, stir through the dressing, the onion and bell pepper. Serve!

I put some chopped up avocado on mine. Just because I love avocado.
