I seriously fall deeper in love with my Instant Pot with every use. Have you seen my running list of amazing IP recipes that have made my life SO much easier? I have been craving lentils and tried this recipe in my IP…I had lentil salad in about 30 minutes (includes prep and cook time). The thing just constantly amazes me.
