Ingredients:
Beans (kidney, chili, or black)Mung beans
lentils
Quinoa
(Last evening we added sweet corn cut from the cob)
*
Directions:
This salad can be made with combinations of your liking and amount required for your table.
Mung beans and lentils will require about 20 minutes each. Remove the mung beans from the liquid as soon as they are tender. They overcook easily, will loose their skins and look crushed.
Quinoa is easily cooked in the microwave. Use a 3:2 ratio of water to grain. Measure the grain, add the same amount of water and one-half again of the amount of water. Nine minutes in a covered container, remove from microwave, do not lift lid and allow to cool.
Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of one-half lemon
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper
Best if made ahead allowing flavors to develop. Dress salad prior to serving.
