[Guest guest]

Speaking of ways to use up leftovers in our frigerators,

this is a great summery salad recipe i tried recently when

i needed to use up a cup of cooked lentils.

 

Brown Rice Lentil Salad

 

1/2 cup uncooked brown rice

1 cup vegetable broth [ imagine brand no-chicken]

1 cup cooked lentils

1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped

1/3 cup thin sliced green onions

1 Tbs. minced fresh parsley

2 Tbs. red wine vinegar

1 Tbs. olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tsp. lime juice

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

 

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring rice and broth

to a boil. Reduce heat and cover, allowing to simmer for

40 minutes or until rice is tender. Cool.

In a bowl combine rice, lentils, tomato, onion and parsley.

In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients.

Pour dressing mixture over rice and lentils and toss to coat.

Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Yield: 6 to 7 servings
