Chick peas, beans and lentils galore are grown in Old Castile, the historic region of north-central Spain. There, these legumes take center stage in all types of dishes, from warm soups to comforting stews and lighter salads. In this typical Spanish Lentil Salad, carrots, garlic and onions, cook alongside the lentils. Then, the cooked lentils are tossed with a tangy dressing, made with GOYA® <a title="Extra Virgin Olive Oil" href="https://www.goya.com/en/products/extra-virgin-olive-oil/" data-id="8196">Extra Virgin Olive Oil</a> and silky pimientos. This classic salad, very much like the French version, is best served warm.
