Lentils provide a robust source of plant-based protein and fiber, the fresh veggies add crunch and nutrients, and the tahini-sriracha dressing brings a nutritious (and flavorful!) kick. Prepare ahead of time and enjoy a convenient, healthy meal during your busy workday.
Lentils have many health benefits, including positive effects on diabetes management, support for cardiovascular health, and antioxidative properties. The antioxidative properties of lentils, attributed to their phenolic content, and their ability to inhibit inflammation-related enzymes are also discussed.
