High-Protein Shrimp and Lentil Salad

A nourishing, filling salad for anyone watching their figure. It restores your energy in an instant, replenishes your body's protein, and satisfies every palate! I made it for the first time and everyone in my household loved it — hearty and delicious. Red split lentils cook up very quickly into tiny, round little beads that look beautiful in the dish and have a pleasant, mild flavor, gentler than other varieties. This salad is made entirely of protein-rich foods that pair perfectly and are easy to digest.
