Healthy people,
If we could spread salad recipes as much as we spread carb and sugar recipes, what an amazing health we would all have.
Chicken lentil salad for a typical corona day, followed by home yoga, then escape into my books.
Have a healthy day everyone, stay safe.

Cut chicken into cubes. Place chicken in a bowl. Add salt, olive oil, cumin, and black pepper
In the meantime, cook lentils.  Place lentils and rice in a pot.  Add salt, cumin, nutmeg, and cinnamon with three cups water.  Cook until water is completely absorbed.
Chop your vegetables and roast your pine nuts with a drizzle of olive oil.  Next mix your salad dressing
Now time to grill your chicken or cook in a skillet.  After you cook your chicken, place chicken in a food processor and pulse on low to shred chicken
