Introduction

This is a great dish that I just stumbled upon when trying to create a portable lunch for myself to tote to work. Also can be served hot.

Works really well with peeled and steamed beets and already cooked lentils (both available at Mother's Market - Melissa is the brand for each).
A great VEGAN dish as well!
