Red Lentils + Quinoa

Ingredients

Yield: 8 servings
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup parsley chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, white part only thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil.
  2. Add quinoa and a pinch of sea salt. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover 12 minutes (or until all water is absorbed).
  3. Remove from heat + let sit 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. In a 4 quart pot, bring 3 cups water, bay leaf + 1 garlic clove to a boil.
  5. Add lentils and reduce heat to a simmer for 3-5 minutes. (Lentils should still have a bite to them so they are not mushy.) Drain any remaining water. Let cool.
  6. Once cooled combine with quinoa and mix in parsley, green onion and 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing.
