An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes. Prepare it up to a day ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator; stirring before serving helps redistribute the dressing and ingredients.
When refrigerated promptly in an airtight container, it is best eaten within 2–3 days. Discard it rather than saving it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended period.
Cook the lentils only until tender with a slight bite, then drain and cool them promptly. Letting excess moisture drain well before mixing is also important for texture.
Mix the yogurt only with fully cooled, well-drained lentils, and dry any washed herbs thoroughly. Add salt close to serving, since it can draw water from vegetables and herbs.
Yes. Greek yogurt gives the salad a thicker, creamier dressing and is less likely to release water; thin it with a little water or lemon juice if needed.
It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, eggs, or whole-grain bread for a more complete meal. Fresh herbs, lemon, and a simple seasonal salad complement its tangy flavor.
Because lentils are rich in fibre, eating this salad immediately before exercise may feel heavy for some people. It is often more comfortable after training, especially alongside another protein-rich food if needed.
Lentils can cause gas or bloating in some people, depending on portion size and individual digestion. Soaking dried lentils, discarding the cooking water, and starting with a smaller serving may help.
Freezing the finished salad is not ideal because yogurt can separate and become watery when thawed. Freeze cooked lentils separately, then add fresh yogurt and other ingredients after defrosting.
It may cause symptoms in people who are sensitive to lactose because it contains dairy yogurt. Lactose-free yogurt can be used instead, while people with a milk allergy should avoid the dish entirely.
