NOTES
This is my entry for Kalyn’s Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted this week by Myriam from Once Upon A Tart.
Lovely recipe! I probably would choose green lentil over mung bean for texture. But everything else is a winner!
I’ve never had mung but I would love this with the green lentils.
Very pretty salad!
this looks filling and delicious. i might make this for a picnic or a simple lunch.
The green lentils are considered quite special here, compared to the lowly brown ones. I do like them a lot, and I love rocket, or arugula as it’s called here. Sounds delicious!
