Lentil and Yogurt Salad image

I'm trying to eat more lentils and made this recipe. If you don't mind the texture of the lentils it's pretty good and refreshing. It's also very healthy. It would probably be good with cucumber, tomato and onion added.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dry lentils, rinsed (I used green)
6 cups water
2 cups nonfat yogurt (original has 6 cups!)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch cayenne
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place lentils and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • The following is for green lentils, other kinds of lentils take less time to cook. So check your package directions. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender but not mushy.
  • Drain and allow to cool.
  • Place cooled lentils in a mixing bowl and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
  • Suggested to serve immediately but I think it's better after sitting.
