1/2 cup uncooked dried lentils

2 cups chicken broth

Creamy Tomato Dressing

1 cup chopped red bell pepper (about

1 medium)

1/2 cup chopped tomato (about

1 small)

1/3 cup chopped green onions (about

3 medium)

1/4 cup chopped red onion

Lentils are a wonderful source of soluble fiber, and while most people are familiar with the common green lentils, many don\'t know they also come in other colors, including white and orange. For a bit more zip, stir 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper into the salad.

Cover and cook lentils and broth in 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat 25 minutes or until lentils are tender; drain. Prepare Creamy Tomato Dressing in large glass or plastic bowl. Mix in lentils and remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. 6 servings
