It’s also super easy to prepare. And if you use canned lentils, you can make this wholesome meal in less than 15 minutes. I love salads, I have salads every single day. They are my favorite thing in the world. But I don’t just love any salad. I like hearty, colorful, protein-rich salads. And I looooove dressings, dressings take already delicious vegetables to the next level. And no, dressings are not optional, if you ask me. I think salads without dressings are boring (sorry, not sorry). But dressings don’t have to be complicated to be awesome, a simple vinaigrette like the one I used on this lentil salad can be absolutely delicious. Hearts of palm are so underrated. Hearts of palm are not only delicious but they’re jam-packed with amazing health benefits too. Want to learn about this incredible plant, check out this [link](https://draxe.com/nutrition/hearts-of-palm/) . The combination of lentils, hearts of palm, avocado and olives is so satisfying. I also added tomatoes and onions and fresh herbs. It’s super flavorful and I think you are going to love this refreshing blend of flavors. This lentil salad travels well, unlike regular salad. I sometimes make it the night before and have it for lunch at work the next day. It’s the perfect, healthy plant-based meal. Full of the good stuff.

To cook the lentils, add them to a small saucepan and cover them with lots of water. Bring them to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes; until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. **I don’t like the strong taste of raw onions, so I place the sliced onion in a small bowl and I cover it with boiling water. After ten minutes, I drain and rinse the onion with cold water. Bye-bye pungent taste, hello delicious mild flavor. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/08/04/lentil-salad-with-hearts-of-palm-and-olives/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F08%2F04%2Flentil-salad-with-hearts-of-palm-and-olives%2F) to post a comment.
