Ingredients
2 cups lentils (can use any color)
6 cups water
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 tsp sweet curry powder
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts
2 cups mesclun or mixed baby field greens
Instructions
Rinse the lentils in a fine mesh sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Add the lentils and 6 cups of water to a large stock pot and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the lentils, run under cold water to cool, and drain well.
In a large salad bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, garlic, parsley, curry powder, honey, and olive oil.
Add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
