Lentil Harvest Grain Salad
This Lentil Harvest Grain Salad can be prepped during baby's nap time with time to spare! Serve it warm or cold at your next summer picnic, BBQ, or as a dinner entree on a busy weeknight!
Ingredients
- ½ package Trader Joe’s Harvest Grain Blend, makes 1 ½ cups cooked, but you only need 1 cup - if using different grain, make 1 cup
- 8 ounces pre-cooked lentils, I use Trader Joe’s lentils
- 3 small leeks diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes diced
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 5 ounces feta cheese
- 1 lemon juiced
- ⅛ cup olive oil + 1 teaspoon for sautéing leeks
- 1 tablespoon red wine or white balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup chopped basil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Lemon pepper or black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make Harvest Grain Blend according to package instructions (takes about 12 minutes).
- While you’re cooking your grains, sauté the leeks in some olive oil for 1-2 minutes and then add your lentils to heat them (if you want to serve this dish warm).
- Once heated, transfer leeks and lentils to a large bowl.
- Mix in remaining ingredients.
- When your grains are done cooking, add them to the lentil mixture and stir to combine.
- Serve warm or cool.
