Right now I am watching what I eat and making healthy choices. I am also following the 21 Day Fix which is an incredible program of teaching you portion control, healthy eating and exercise. If you want more information let me know and I will point you in the right direction! Recently I made this Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese, which was delicious. It makes four servings so you can enjoy it for two meals, if there are two of you! I’m already thinking ahead to summer and how good this salad would be in a lettuce wrap! You may notice I totally forgot the goat cheese! Tasted delicious anyway!
Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese
Ingredients:
6 cups of water
1 cup of green lentils, rinsed and drained
¾ tsp salt
2 celery stalks (can include the leaves), diced
2 carrots, shredded
1 small onion, minced
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh dill
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp black pepper
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Directions:
Bring the water, lentils and ½ tsp salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered until lentils are tender. About 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
Add celery, carrots, onion, vinegar, dill, oil, mustard, pepper and remaining ¼ tsp salt and stir to combine.
Just before serving add the goat cheese or serve it without the goat cheese, either way it’s delicious. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
