Crab is packed with selenium, a mineral that plays a role in warding off skin cancer. Inexpensive lentils are rich in fiber and folate (a B vitamin). Greek yogurt contains twice as much protein as traditional style yogurt and also makes an ideal substitute for mayonnaise and sour cream in recipes. The main antioxidant in tomatoes is lycopene which has been found to reduce oxidative muscle damage.

Ummm so you don’t cook the lentils?
Are he lentils cooked ahead of time?
The lentils can be canned or pre-cooked. Make sure you soak them for a couple of hours if they are canned. 🙂
