Easy Lentil Stew

This no-cook soup is meant to be served cool so it’s satisfying and refreshing. Blending tomatoes with immune-supporting garlic creates the base, while a colorful bell pepper and juicy cucumber help you meet your daily quota for veggies! Try adding crumbled turkey bacon or black beans for added protein. If you have fresh bread on hand, that makes for a perfect accompaniment.

Enjoy this Mediterranean-inspired appetizer.

Snappy green beans, canned white beans, and jarred, roasted red peppers are combined in a flavorful vinaigrette. The longer it sits, the better it gets, so this is a great make-ahead option. Serving it over a few handfuls of arugula ups the veggie quotient, and it’s great with whole-grain crackers.

The tiny amount of dressing will scarcely seem enough to cover the veggies, but a little sesame oil goes a long way. Plus, you don’t want to overwhelm the fresh snow peas.
