  • 1 cup white quinoa
  • ½ cup brown lentils cooked
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut into halves
  • ½ English cucumber diced
  • 1 cup baby kale roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup parsley roughly chopped
  • ½ lemon zested
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Do the things:

Quinoa takes time to prepare so let’s do that 1st. There should be some instructions on the package, prepare accordingly. Place in the fridge to cool while you’re doing other things.

Lentils takes time to prepare so let’s do that also. There should be some instructions on the package, prepare accordingly. Place in the fridge to cool while you’re doing other things.

Chop up those veggies –
* Dice up that red bell pepper
* Chop up that kale, parsley and cucumber
* Cut the cherry tomatoes in half

Lets make the good stuff:
Time to get those things out of the fridge, I’m talkin’ about the Quinoa and Lentils. Grab yourself a large mixing bowl and put everything in it.
Take that lemon and zest it, about 1/2 or so, if you don’t know what that means google it. Then juice the whole lemon over the bowl, add some salt and pepper to taste.

Let me know how yours turns out. Mine was fantastic.
