Lentil & Brown Rice Salad

Meat substitution: Vegetarianism, a diet comprised primarily of plant food, is a healthy and flavourful way of eating.  However, meatless meals are not without their challenges, which sometimes fall short of daily nutritional protein requirements.  By combining lentils and brown rice, I create a complete protein.

The following recipe is from The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged! written by Tosca Reno.  I substitute Puy lentils for Canadian green lentils, and use 2 cups of vegetable broth instead of chicken stock.  I omit the 1-2 chopped tomatoes for a firmer texture.

Lentil & Brown Rice Salad

Ingredients:

½ cup dry green lentils

½ uncooked brown rice

2 cups vegetable broth

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, passed through a garlic press

Juice of 1 fresh lime

2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

½ tsp. sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 green onions, trimmed and chopped

1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped

Method

Combine lentils, rice and broth in a covered casserole dish and bake at 350 ° for 40 minutes.

Remove from oven, transfer to a bowl and let cool.

Prepare dressing by combining olive oil, garlic, lime juice, red wine vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a small Mason jar, put a lid on the jar and shake well. This saves time washing a whisk and bowl!

Add green onions and  parsley to cooled lentils and rice.  If you plan to include tomatoes in this salad, add them now.

Add dressing.  Toss to combine.  Serve chilled.
