This dish is a cold appetizer that I love to have around the house for when I’m feeling the need for something filling, full of protein, but light on the gut. These lentil patties are served cold and full of flavor from dill, parsley, and mint. Packed with protein and fiber, the lentil patties manage to stay fat-free – no oil or butter added. Enjoy over a salad, in a sandwich or alone, as is. Bon appetit!
Lentils: are an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber, effectively helping to prevent digestive and cardiovascular disorders. They also contribute to lowering cholesterol and maintaining blood sugar levels. Low on the glycemic index, lentils release their sugars slowly, keeping you fuller and more balanced for longer.
