A Lentil Salad
I will be of few words today.
Arugula, baby spinach, radicchio (washed and spun dry). Lentils (cooked simply in salted chicken broth). Grape tomatoes (imported from Canada—these were summer-sweet—washed/dried and halved). Parmesan and pecorino (grated and mixed—clever). Extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar (lots). Tossed and eaten along with a thick slice of toasted seven grain.
And then I had another piece of seven grain (not toasted) with peanut butter. And I'm still hungry. Oh, hell.
I love that first picture. And I love the idea of the salad!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS!!! This is my kind of eating. :-)

ReplyDeleteI love lentils. Never tried them in a salad though. The grated parmesan/pecorino on top is tantalizing! Like the look of the bread too.

Such beautiful photos of an incredibly colorful salad. I love lentils with radicchio - a great combo. As for still hungry.... well, sadly, if I were you I'd probably have done way worse than some peanut butter. More like a cupcake or two!
