Crispy Lentil and Quinoa Power Salad
Oven-roasted lentils and fluffy quinoa tossed with fresh spinach and a zesty lemon dressing, finished with a sprinkle of savory nutritional yeast.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
1.5 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the cooked lentils very dry with a paper towel to ensure they get maximum crunch.
Toss the lentils with garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt, then spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast the lentils for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and baby spinach.
Add the hot, crispy lentils to the bowl so the heat slightly wilts the spinach.
Whisk together the lemon juice and nutritional yeast in a small ramekin to create a thick, savory dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat every grain and leaf before serving.
