Cooked barley or other whole grains of your choice(optional)
Combine all ingredients except the zucchini in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer about 30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Add the zucchini and simmer 5 minutes more. Serve over the cooked whole grain of your choice if desired. Also good chilled!
