So happy for leftovers last night when things were crazy!
Throw leftover lentil salad in a container. Add hot sauce.
Cold salads are my saving grace for packed lunches when I’m really busy. I used to make them on Sundays and have them twice during the week in different forms.
Combine with a handful of Food Should Taste Good Chips for scooping (my FAVORITE flavor!!)
And take a bite outta this bruised nectarine and pray it’s still good
Another Happy Hour lunch underway!!

Leftovers for lunch are the BEST!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
It looks delicious, but with my hatred of veggies, don’t know if I could eat that many for lucnh. 🙂
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
A bruised nectarine is always a gamble. My fingers are crossed for you!
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
I used to make a big batch of rice and beans at the beginning of the week and have variations of that as a cold (or room temp) salad throughout the week. I now do mostly leftovers, but the basic rice and bean dish (or some variant) is a good one to remember when you’re running low on other stuff.
Katherine says
happy hour is greatly appreciated
Katharina says
Yum yum I love colorful salads. Have you tried those lentils with goat cheese on a salad? It’s really delicious! Also with feta! I still haven’t tried those chips but I see them everywhere and only hear great things.

I made a lentil dish with green beans once and I loved it! So filling and satisfying. Your lunch looks absolutely perfect. 😀
Dorry says
There’s nothing better than a cold, crispy salad in the summertime heat. Especially with chips for scooping!
claire says
I had a leftover lentil dish for lunch today too…was delicious! I bet the hot sauce really livened it up!
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
As always…cute spoon.
I have never had lentils in any form. Maybe I should jump on that bandwagon?
Kaz says
That cold salad does look good! Good luck with your squishy nectarine. 😀
Mama Pea says
You are brave with that nectarine. That’s one I’d give to the kids. 🙂
Stacy (StacyGrowsHealthy) says
Those chips are fantastic. I can see them make any cold salad a winner.
Whitney says
Great looking salad! I actually just bought some green beans at the farmers market today and was wondering how I should use them. Might just have to whip up a salad! Also, I’m a fairly new reader of your blog and just saw that you and your husband are starting a GH bread store! I am so impressed with that…probably one of my favorite places!! Wish you guys all the best with that!
Callie says
Mmm. Those leftovers look good.
Hopefully that nectarine’s still okay. I hate having to throw fruit out whenever it gets smooshed.
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says

Are those the multi grain chips? I love those- they’re like a thick tortilla chip but healthy 😀

I made your friends red pepper/arti heart hummus. Holy cow so tasty! I forgot garlic but I can’t remember if she used it either.
SO good!
