LIME-CILANTRO LENTIL & AVOCADO SALAD
This colorful meal comes together quickly and easily, offering a delightful mix of flavors and textures in one satisfying bowl. Lentils are a filling, plant-based source of protein that anchors this main-dish salad. To make it in a snap, look for precooked lentils in vacuum-sealed packaging or in cans, but you'll need to rinse and drain canned varieties before using. To toast the pepitas, place them in a dry skillet, and cook them over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. You can also use pine nuts or pistachios in place of the pepitas, if you like.

LENTIL AVOCADO SALAD
Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots and onions, and sweat for 5 minutes while stirring. Add the lentils and cover with 2 inches of water. Stir in the bay leaf and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes. Drain and season with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf and cool.
- While the lentils are cooking, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, agave, red pepper, lemon juice and zest and some salt and pepper. Slowly stream in 3 tablespoons oil while continuously whisking. Pour the vinaigrette over the cooled lentils then fold in the diced avocado and cranberries. Pour into a bowl, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
LENTIL SALAD W/ AVOCADO & CILANTRO
Adapted from the Cabbage Patch restaurant in Beverly Hills, this lentil salad is light & refreshing. Be sure to use a variety of lentil that stands up well to cooking, such as black or French green. Do NOT use brown lentils because they will turn mushy & unappetizing when cooked. I use the pre-cooked beluga lentils carried at Trader Joe's in the refrigerated section.
