I love this Lentil Rice Salad recipe for a quick and simple work lunch, that can be prepared in advance, for the week. I couldn’t express how easy this recipe is, with just a few ingredients and yet so many tastes and flavors.
Nutritionally well balanced with the lentils that provide such a rich source of protein for your daily requirements. You just can’t miss out on this one!
To make Lentil Rice Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a 2-quart saucepan of boiling broth, stir in the rice and lentils, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes until cooked, then remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
In a large bowl, toss the rice and lentils with parsley, ground red pepper, celery, onion, green pepper and vinaigrette together and combine well.
In a mixing bowl, gently whisk the oil, vinegar, jalapeño peppers, sugar and salt, together.
Drizzle the prepared salad dressing over salad and toss to coat well.
Cover salad bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight.
Season to taste, before serving on a bed of lettuce leaves.
