Notes
- Avoid using red or yellow lentils when making this lentil and chickpea salad. They're too soft and mushy.
- Be sure to drain the lentils and chickpeas well so they don't add liquid to the salad.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days. I don't recommend freezing this salad. Serve it up cold or reheat it in the microwave or a skillet until warm.
