Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup quinoa
1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup lentils (he uses beluga lentils)
1 carrot, peeled & sliced in half lengthwise
3 stalks celery
6 sprigs parsley
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 avocado, diced small
1 cup cherry tomatoes, split in half
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
12 radishes, rinsed and finely sliced
1 fennel bulb, shaved very thin
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
additional sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon fennel pollen (optional)

  • Make dijon vinaigrette: Place 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard in a jar and cover tightly; shake well and set aside until ready to use.

LENTIL QUINOA SALAD



Lentil Quinoa Salad image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/4 cups water, plus 2 cups
1/2 cup lentils
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lime, zested
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse in cold water. In a large microwave-proof bowl with a cover, add the rinsed quinoa and 1 1/4 cups water. Cover and microwave on high for 9 minutes. Let it sit for 2 minutes then stir. Quinoa should be tender enough to eat, but with a little "pop" upon biting.
  • Put the lentils in a sieve and rinse in cold water. In a saucepan, simmer the lentils in 2 cups water until the lentils are tender, but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the mustard and vinegar together, and drizzle in the oil to make an emulsion. Add the garlic powder, lime zest, and salt, and pepper, to taste.
  • To assemble the salad: In a medium salad bowl, mix the quinoa, lentils, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Top the salad with the dressing, toss to coat and serve.
