9 LENTIL & BEAN Recipes to Keep You Fueled!

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Lentils and beans regularly make their way into our meals around here. They pair well with almost any herbs and spices, and boost our fiber intake effortlessly.
​
I've gathered together some of my favorite lentil and bean recipes below, including soups, salads and snacks. Let's dive right in...

  1. Vegan Lentil Chili - This chili is rich, comforting and beyond delicious! You'll never miss the meat.
  2. ​Black Bean & Corn Salad - 10-minute recipe! Serve it at every summertime barbecue and picnic. Also great as a chip dip.
  3. ​Slow Cooker Bean Soup - One reader said, "Two words: Make this! This is just so damn good! I couldn't believe how full I was after just one helping." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  4. ​5-Minute Lentil Hummus - I make a batch of this every week. Great for snacking or spreading on sandwiches.
  5. ​Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Cilantro Vinaigrette - A summertime favorite!
  6. ​Red Lentil Dal - I make a batch of this delicious curry at least once a month. It's a piece of cake to make in the Instant Pot.
  7. ​Three Bean Salad - A classic side dish for your summertime get-togethers. It packs well for picnics, too.
  8. ​Lentil Tabbouleh Salad - One of my favorite meal prep salads! The flavors of fresh lemon juice and herbs meld and get better over time.
  9. ​Chickpea Curry - One reader said, "Just made this and I am thrilled with the results. A friend was visiting and she had to have the recipe." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have a great day!
