I have a small feeling that I have hit another big salad goldmine with this Lemony Roasted Broccoli, Arugula and Lentil Salad recipe. I love warm salads and this particular combo fills the space.

My lemon dressing includes ingredients like olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. There is enough protein in this salad to suffice a full meal but enjoy it as a side salad too, or at your next barbecue.
