Improv Lentil Salad
I had cold rice/lentils in the fridge, and my CSA box full of good veggies arrived...what to do but mix them up and make lunch. Insta-Recipe: Chop and toss together: 1 small green round summer squash, 1 stick celery, 2 tbsp onion, half a carrot, 3/4 cup cooked and cold brown rice, 1/4 cup cooked and cold green lentils. Toss with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, a few tbsp olive oil, and spices to taste: eg. cumin, garlic, oregano, black pepper, salt. Serve over one handful of green lettuce, with a dollop of spicy salsa, 2 tbsp greek plain yogurt, and some salty cashews.
