Directions
- Ahead of Time:
- Red Lentils: (ours were orangey looking) - We got them bulk, DRIED at Sprouts for $1.39 a pound on sale. Soak them overnight in water (about 16 - 24 hours) until they have taken on water and feel like a squishy bean again. NOTE: You do not have to soak lentils, they can go in the pot as is. We soaked ours for the mashy quality!
- Instructions:
- After the lentils have soaked, take them out and place them in a deep pot with some water. Cook them about 30 minutes until they are soft a mashy. Add Cumin, Garlic Powder, Cinnamon and Garlic Salt to the mash (to taste, about 2 - 3 shakes of each - one shake of the garlic salt). Keep stirring and tasting to get it how you like it. Add S/P to taste. Once you've made it into a thick mash, you are ready to go.
- Start your salad plate with the lettuce mixes, cherry tomatoes, sweet red onion. Place a scoop or 2 of the lentil mash on top. Mmmmmmmmmmm!
- The DRESSING! We find it so hard to find good vegan dressings, but this one is great! In your blender place 3 tomatoes, we used Romas, 3 cloves of garlic or one heaping scoop of crushed garlic in a jar, about an ounce of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 shakes of Curry Powder and S/P to taste, put the cap on and blend away! Blend for 30 seconds to make it super smooth. Pour this yummy pink stuff on your salad and enjoy!
