For Mom-

Lime dressing:

zest of one lime, make sure you wash it!

juice on one lime

1/3 cup olive oil

1 T honey, maple syrup or sugar if that's all you got

1 T sweet dried basil

salt, pepper

Salad:

small dice one zucchini

small dice one roasted red pepper

5-7 basil leaves, sliced thin

3-4 cups cooked lentils (Trader Joe's sells them cooked to perfection, if you cook them yourself, don't overcook them)

4 T goat cheese, slice it then crumble

First:

In a bowl mix the dressing up and toss in the zucchini, let it sit until you are done

Toss lentils with the rest of the salad mix, leaving out 1/2 of the cheese and a few strands of basil.

Mix in dressing and zucchini, top with the last of the cheese and basil.

Serve cold or room temp.
