Lentil Salad

Make sure you make and serve after the prescribed 5min.  I tried doing this the night ahead and it got really watery/tasteless by lunch the next day.

1c dried green lentils
1/2tsp cumin
1/4tsp turmeric
1T ginger, freshly grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
Juice of one lime
1/4c pineapple, diced small
1/4c olive oil
1/2tsp sea salt
1c zucchini, diced
1c cucumber, diced
3/4c carrots, diced
1/4c cilantro, chopped
1/4c scallions

2 cups salad greens, washed and dried

1. Place dried lentils in 3 cups of water and simmer, covered for 30min. When tender remove from heat and drain.  Set aside to cool.

2. Dressing: place cumin, turmeric, ginger, garlic, lime juice, oilve oil and sea salt in a glass jar and shake vigorously OR place in a food processor pr blender until smooth.  Add pineapple last so the dressing is chunky.

3.Combine lentils and vegetables in a bowl-add dressing and mix well. Let sit for 5min for the flavors to blend.

Serve on top of a bed of greens.
