420 g of Lentils (8 oz) uncooked

50 g sliced olives
1/4 c salsa
2 tbsp low-fat sour cream
1 c. Cheddar cheese, shredded

Here is how you make Lentil Taco Salad:

Cook lentils (this is 1 c lentils, so cook in 2 c water) until soft, then transfer to frying pan. While lentils cook, prepare veggies. If your family isn't picky, mix vegetables. Shred cheese.After lentils are soft, drain if necessary (shouldnt' be), and move to frying pan. Mix with lentils and a bit more water some chili powder, garlic powder, diced onions if you deisre, cumin, and cayenne pepper if desired. Stir and cook until water cooks off.Serve the lentils as if they were taco beef on top of the salad. Top with salsa, cheese and sour cream. The kids/those who aren't watching carbs too close can add crunched up bits of taco shell. Everything on the list is included in the calorie count. The cheese, if the salad is split into 5, makes up about half of the calories, but if you are in to a very low-cal but filling meal, this is it. Any other dressing added will count toward your calories, so remember that. Enjoy!Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHANDRARAE.
