I just love French lentils cooked with loads of garlic and thyme, when served along with baguette slices, i can finish my lunch or dinner happily. Actually cooking lentils with garlic and thyme is a classic French dish, a super aromatic protein rich dish as crushed garlic cloves are sauteed with thyme leaves.French lentils works awesome for making some delicious salads as well. And my today's dish is a prefect dish to cook with this nutritious lentils. French lentils are also known as Le Puy Lentils which is easily available in all provisional stores here. Needless to say how nutritious this lentils are, obviously lentils are rich in protein and extremely rich in dietary fiber as well.
If you are looking for a gluten free, hassle free, satisfying salad for your lunch or dinner, my today's post will definitely makes you happy. Simply cook both the quinoa and french lentils and serve them with a dressing by adding your favourite vegetables in it. With a grilled meat or simply grilled bread slices, one can finish his meal happily with this nutritious, healthy salad. I made a simple vinegar dressing to spice up this salad, make your favourite dressing and enjoy the goodness of both quinoa and lentils in your menu. Am running this week's blogging marathon with Lentil salad and sides and this salad is going for this theme.
1/2cup Quinoa
1/2cup French lentils
Any vegetable of your choice (i used cornkernels)
Any dressing of your choice
Cook the quinoa and french lentil separately until they gets well cooked.
Drain the water and keep aside. Let them cool completely.
Take the quinoa and french lentils in a bowl, add in your choice of vegetables.
Drizzle the dressing of your choice and toss everything well.
Serve immediately.
