Azifa is a refreshing Ethiopian lentil salad made from boiled green lentils, mixed with onions, green chili, mustard, lime juice, and vegetable oil, often served cold or at room temperature. Native to Ethiopia, especially in the northern and central regions, Azifa is typically boiled and marinated, then served with injera as part of a larger fasting platter or vegan meal. Its tangy, slightly spicy flavor and cooling nature make it a staple during Orthodox fasting seasons and a common light dish for hot days.

Common variations may use yellow lentils or add tomatoes for a fresher texture.
