    Rice and Lentil Salad

    1
    By Sarah on July 19, 2018 Lunch, Vegetarian

    Healthy eating can be a time-consuming chore. That’s why, for many of us, convenience is often more important than health. Lack of time means that we often find ourselves grabbing food that contains calories and very little else – no protein, no fiber, no vitamins, no minerals, and no healthy fats. It’s no wonder so many people suffer from diet-related illnesses like diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. 

    The thing is, with a little pre-planning, healthy eating can actually be very easy. 

    To make it easier for me to eat well, I try and make a lot of my meals in advance. After all, if I’m cooking one meal, I can just as easily cook several at the same time. I often make my lunch for tomorrow while I’m making my dinner today for example. 

    This grab and go lunch is easy to make the night before. Just make it and then pop it in an airtight container. You can then grab it from the fridge as you head off to work the next day. Easy! 

    Preparation time: 5 minutes 

    Cooking time: 15 minutes  

    Number of Servings: 4  

    Ingredients 

    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 
    • 1 shallot, finely chopped 
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika 
    • ¼ teaspoon salt 
    • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 
    • 2 cups cooked brown or wild rice (you could also use cooked quinoa) 
    • 1 15-ounce can of cooked lentils – drained and rinsed 
    • 1 medium carrot, finely diced 
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

    Instructions 

    1. Blend the oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl to make your dressing. 

    2. In a second bowl, mix the lentils, cooked rice, carrot, and parsley. 

    3. Pour the dressing over the rice and lentil mixture and then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate until it’s time to eat.
