Year of the Pulse and a Couscous-Lentil Zoodle Salad

May 25 by Priscilla 2 Comments

Normally, when I think of lentils, all that comes to mind is lentil soup and warm French lentil salad that comes in a mini, aged cast iron crock  at one of our favorite restaurants that we frequent when in Paris. Other than that – I draw a blank. But knowing how nutritious they are and […]
