What’s in a Lentil Salad Name?

At the moment, Rachael and my mother are making fresh Lachmi’s Lentil Salad. It continues to be a hit, selling out most Saturdays. The ingredients are fantastic: lentils, red onions, currants, parsley, a touch of mustard, and other spices.

As we considered a name for the salad, Katrina wanted something that sounded Indian since it has an Indian flair to it. After much debate, we settled on Lachmi’s Lentil Salad. Some of us had never heard of the name, Lachmi, apart from the name of a NPR news reporter. Others of us have a tough time pronouncing it.  Katrina remains resolute that it is the perfect name for it.  What do you think?

Whatever the case, name or no name, what is actually IN the salad is fantastic!  See you tomorrow morning at the market, rain or shine!
