Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the lentils and 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender-crisp. Drain in a colander.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the lentils, onion, garlic, celery, lemon juice, cumin, salt (if desired), and pepper. Stir to mix well.
  3. Serve warm, either plain or on fat-free crackers or toasted whole-wheat bread. Or cover and refrigerate until chilled. Lentils will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
