Not all salads involve boring iceberg lettuce leaves! This green lentil and pea salad is packed with plant-based protein and has lots of healthy fats from the pumpkin seeds and avocado.
It’s such a super quick vegan protein rich meal to prepare and the avocado and hummus give a creamy texture to the dish. You can either cook the peas from frozen or sit them out to defrost for a sweeter, juicier addition to the salad. This salad will definitely leave you full up and nourished!
