Lentil and Chickpea Salad

[Guest guest]

Just thought I would share this one, even though I haven't tried it yet, because

it sounds so good. I have lots of lentils and garbanzos so it's on the menu for

Monday.

Lentil, Chickpea, Red Pepper and Broccoli

(originally posted to GentleKeepers by Donna Godfrey)

 

 

1 pound broccoli

2 cups chick-peas (1- 12 ounce can)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh parsley

1/4 cup olive oil

1 garlic clove, mashed

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups lentils

2 red peppers

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 garlic clove, mashed

1 dash sugar

1 teaspoon french mustard

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup fresh mint

Fresh lettuce, for garnish

1. Cut the broccoli into florets, cook briefly in boiling salted water, and

plunge into iced water.

 

2. Drain the chick-peas and mix with the lemon juice, parsley, 1/4 cup olive

oil, garlic clove, and salt and pepper. Set aside.

 

3. Clean the lentils and cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes or

until al dente. Drain.

 

4. Place the red peppers in a preheated 450 degrees F oven for 20 minutes. When

charred, place immediately in a brown paper bag to cool down for about 30

minutes. Peel, remove seeds and remove membranes, and slice into thin strips

about 1/2- inch wide.

 

5. To make the vinaigrette, mix the balsamic vinegar, garlic clove, sugar, and

mustard in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, pour in 1/4 cup of oil. Add the

salt and pepper to taste and garnish with diced fresh mint. Set aside in an

attractive small bowl.

 

6. Using a large platter, place all the vegetables and grains in individual

sections, using lettuce as a garnish. Serve as a salad or first course, with the

vinaigrette in a bowl with a spoon on the side.
