Vegetarian Legume Salad

Written by Published on Updated on January 14, 2020 in Uncategorized

Hey there!!  How is everyone?  So, hubby officially has been back to work since last Monday…Wooo Hooo very happy.  He has recovered from the Heart Attack so he got the go-ahead.  Of course, he still needs to be very careful because his heart has recovered by 50%.  As for me, I have been exhausted these past few months. I have been working 14 to 16 hours a day and taking care of hubby, house, charlie and a whole bunch of other things.  I could see how rundown I was, so I went to lay down on Saturday at around 7 in the evening and woke up the following day. 🙂  That should tell you how much I am due for a much-needed rest. 🙂

This is a great way to start the year or month in regards to going on a diet, or because you love eating a healthy salad.  Seriously, it really doesn’t get any easier than this recipe.  These types of ingredients need to be soaked overnight in water.  Boiled the following day adding in your favorite ingredients to make this a super delicious salad for lunch or dinner.  Just remember that there is no need to leave the Lentil in water overnight.  There is, of course, another option, buying store-bought Legumes.  Sometimes it is much easier and quicker than doing the whole overnight in the water process.  But if you were to use store-bought I would wash them and drain from excess salt.  

This is a bowl of Yumminess, for everyone to enjoy. try it out and let me know what you think. 

 

Have a great week!!  🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Aww that's so great to hear about hubby! Sounds like he's doing well with his heart recovering to the 50% mark and being back to work so soon. But jees, you have been so, so busy yourself. You deserve a medal, or at least a week off! Is there any way you can get a little time out, even just a day, to rest and recuperate and look after YOU? Embarrassing as this may be to admit, I've never eaten lentils! Might have to add that to the 2020 bucket list because this sounds yummy 😉 Caz xxxx

      Hey there sweetie...Thanks so much!! Unfortuantely at the moment I can't (for obvious reasons) but I am hoping that as of next month I can start to slow down. I am definitely in need of some rest. How are you doing?

        I am great thank you for asking. Yes, I have moved to our new state, and we are leaving this weekend for England, YA. I am a bit nervous since I have never been on a flight for that long. I haven't been on but one flight in decades LOL. I was looking over my stuff this morning trying to decide what to take, and what will fit hahaha :)
