Another super quick lunch recipe for you! Remember the lentil and quinoa Greek salad I posted last week? Well this is what you could do with the remaining lentils and feta and only cook up the quinoa once, similar ingredients but 2 completely different tasting salads.
Serves 1
1/2 can green lentils
2 tbsp cooked quinoa
1/4 cup frozen broad beans
1/4 cup frozen peas
50g feta cubes
1 tbsp sunflower seeds
1 tbsp dressing*
Method
1. Put it all in a container and mix, if eating immediately you will need to blanch the broad beans and peas in boiling water for 3 minutes before serving (either hot or cold)
I like to make this the night before I'm having it for lunch, that way, everything is suitably defrosted.
* I use this dressing from sainsbury's although it is quite high in fat and 87 calls per tbsp I think I'm getting enough veg, calcium and protein in this meal to be worth having this too.
This sounds delicious, I can't wait to try lots of new salads over summer.
