This delicious bean bowl is chock full of healthy veggies atop earthy lentils at its foundation. A Mediterranean-inspired riff on the one-bowl meal, you'll love the brightness the vinaigrette gives the rich lentils. And the veggies added are the ones you know and love in a classic French tuna salad Niçoise. Hard boiled eggs add even more heft to the bowl. If you don’t have haricot vert, swap in regular green beans. Make enough lentils and veggies to duplicate this recipe the next day at lunch. You'll be the envy of the office or lunchroom.
