Black Lentil Salad
Ok, well I've posted past yum recipes here, why not continue!
Tonight I made a simple yummy salad.
Started with buying some black lentils at whole foods, I'm sure ive had them before, but never cooked em, yellow, red, white.. never black.
Heres what went into the salad.
1 small heart of oak leaf lettuce
1/2 cup of small vine ripened tomatoes (orange, cherry, lightbulb types)
1/2 cup of slightly undercooked black lentils
Dressing:
2 Tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce
2 Table spoons of balsamic vinegar (this was even my cheap nappa valley runny stuff)
1 pinch of fresh black pepper
1 pinch of garlic powder
cooked up about a cup of dry lentils cooked them for about 15 minutes until they were soft but not mushy. drained them and set them aside to cool to room temp. Sliced up the lettuce and tomatoes, sprinkled in the lentils and poured the dressing over it.
I was licking the bowl clean!
