Southwestern Lentil Bowls

These lentil bowls are as flavorful as they are beautiful. Plus they're a good option for my vegetarian friends! Lentils pack a good protein punch, so this is a great meal if you're looking for a meatless option. Topping them with avocado salsa and fresh salsa gives them a southwestern feel and a bit of a spicy kick.
