This lentil and walnut salad from Delicious Vitality is a meatless meal packed with nutrition.  Tender brown lentils are tossed in a balsamic rosemary vinaigrette and spinach and tomatoes.  This salad gets better the longer it sits so try to make it advance if you can.  Lentil and walnut salad is perfect for picnics or a healthy lunch.
