Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked lentils (either green, French green or brown lentils), rinsed and picked over
1 English cucumber, finely diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
3/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
1/2 cup diced and drained sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper

Steps:

Combine the lentils in a saucepan with 3 cups of water (or veggie broth) and stir to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and maintain the simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20-25 minutes depending on the type of lentils used. Use a strainer to drain and rinse the lentils in cold water for 1 minute until they are chilled, and set aside.
Meanwhile, as the lentils are cooking, combine all of the lemon dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until combined.
Add the cooked and chilled lentils, cucumber, red onion, mint and sun-dried tomatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle evenly with the lemon dressing and toss until evenly combined.
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days.

LIME-CILANTRO LENTIL & AVOCADO SALAD

Lime-Cilantro Lentil & Avocado Salad image

This colorful meal comes together quickly and easily, offering a delightful mix of flavors and textures in one satisfying bowl. Lentils are a filling, plant-based source of protein that anchors this main-dish salad. To make it in a snap, look for precooked lentils in vacuum-sealed packaging or in cans, but you'll need to rinse and drain canned varieties before using. To toast the pepitas, place them in a dry skillet, and cook them over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. You can also use pine nuts or pistachios in place of the pepitas, if you like.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

Extra-virgin olive oil
2 ribs celery, finely diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1/4 sweet onion, finely diced
2 cups French green lentils, picked over for stones and rinsed
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon agave syrup
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1 avocado, pitted and diced
1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots and onions, and sweat for 5 minutes while stirring. Add the lentils and cover with 2 inches of water. Stir in the bay leaf and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and season with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf and cool.
While the lentils are cooking, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, agave, red pepper, lemon juice and zest and some salt and pepper. Slowly stream in 3 tablespoons oil while continuously whisking. Pour the vinaigrette over the cooled lentils then fold in the diced avocado and cranberries. Pour into a bowl, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.

LENTIL SALAD W/ AVOCADO & CILANTRO

Lentil Salad W/ Avocado & Cilantro image

Adapted from the Cabbage Patch restaurant in Beverly Hills, this lentil salad is light & refreshing. Be sure to use a variety of lentil that stands up well to cooking, such as black or French green. Do NOT use brown lentils because they will turn mushy & unappetizing when cooked. I use the pre-cooked beluga lentils carried at Trader Joe's in the refrigerated section.
