Baby Spinach And Lentil Salad

Features:

    I finally got around to making this, and we were not disappointed! I made it with a few modifications: one whole onion, no garlic, no olives, one whole green pepper, a pint of cherry tomatoes (halved) instead of the roma, caraway for the fennel, basil for the oregano. Thanks for a delicious, and nutritious summer meal.

    Very quick and easy recipe.  My family said it's a keeper!  Make sure spinach is drained or recipe will be watery.  I substituted dried onion flakes (already had on hand).  Tasted great!  Thanks.
