Ingredients

  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup purple cabbage

  • 1/3 cup edamame, shelled
  • 1/4 cup beets, cooked and chopped (save time by buying pre-cooked beets)

  • Salad Dressing of Choice

Instructions

  • Finely chop the spinach leaves and purple cabbage in a food processor
  • Add to a bowl with grated carrots, edamame, chopped beets, almonds, and lentils.
  • Dress with salad dressing of your choice. We used Green Goddess Dressing from Trader Joe's

Notes

Finely chopping spinach and cabbage in food processor is optional. We find it helps make eating the salad easier.
