I recently checked out the cookbook “Giada at Home” from the library. There are so many delicious looking recipes in that book, I marked almost every page with a post-it note!
The first recipe I tried was the Italian Lentil Salad which was easy to make and quite tasty, to boot! This meal is perfect for a summertime Meatless Monday and it also packs well for lunch the next day. The addition of grapes and lemon zest add sweetness & brightness to the salad! DELISH!
The only change I made to the recipe is that I did not have hazelnuts so I used toasted pine nuts instead. I served the salad at room temperature topped with a little crumbled feta.
