*Recipe* Autumn Root Vegetable and Lentil Salad

It is no secret that I love lentils, and I also love root vegetables.  Beets, turnips, sweet potato, radish. LovePulses on Instagram posted this recipe for a salad with all of these things that is perfect for Fall.  Sadly here it is nowhere near Fall, but I can pretend!

Ingredients

3 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 carrot, sliced

1 parsnip, sliced

1 sweet potato, diced

1 swede, diced (this means a turnip.  I didn't know either)

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 Tbsp Tahini

3 Tbsp hot water

1 cup cooked and drained lentils

1/2 cup radish, thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 lemon to drizzle over top

Fresh Basil for garnish
