Lentil, Beetroot + Herb Salad

80
There is so much I love about this salad, from the beetroot with betalains that promote liver detoxification, to the protein- and iron-rich lentils. The abundant fibre is excellent for removing toxins.
PREPARATION TIME: 20 MINUTES ♥ COOKING TIME: 20 MINUTES SERVES 4

  • 4 beetroot, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 x 400 g tins lentils, drained and rinsed
