One of my all-time favorite side dishes is made with black lentils. Due to its resemblance to the most expensive type of caviar, beluga caviar, black lentils are also referred to as beluga lentils.

Thank you, Ms. Scott, for sharing this recipe! I was bored with my usual tuna salad recipe and this one turned out to be a very refreshing change. It is aptly named as the crunchiness from the ingredients makes for a wonderful mix. I followed the directions as written and everyone in my home enjoyed this salad. I will definitely make it again.
