Warm Lentil Salad
by Mimi & Vera Levin, Tastemakers in Residence
Spring has finally sprung and its time to trade those cozy leggings for cool shorts, fuzzy sweaters for breezy tanks, and clunky boots for chunky sandals. With the change in seasons comes a change in diet as many leave behind winter’s comfort foods in favor of a lighter fare. We are here to help you jump into warmer weather with three light and beautifully healthy salads!
