What's for Lunch?

Here's another quick & simple recipe. The hardest part of making this meal is rinsing and cooking the quinoa.

You begin by cooking the quinoa according to the directions on the packaging.

Add about a cup of yellow lentils to the quinoa while it is cooking, just before it is done. Yellow lentils don't take very long to cook, so you'll want to keep an eye on it.

Next...You want to prepare your salad.

I used spinach as the base. I added a variety of tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, avocado, and drizzled olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on it. Toss it all together, to coat the salad.

Add it to the quinoa lentil mixture once it's cooked.
