Quinoa and French Lentils Salad

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.
