In the past days, spring has shown up in full bloom. I love to enjoy lighter, nourishing meals around this time of the year. This lentil salad is one of my favourite dishes for warm days! Seasoned with fresh lime and coriander, it has a nice cooling & refreshing effect. I combined the salad to a healthy “rainbow bowl”, inspired by the vibrant colors of spring!
