LENTIL AND YOGURT SALAD
I'm trying to eat more lentils and made this recipe. If you don't mind the texture of the lentils it's pretty good and refreshing. It's also very healthy. It would probably be good with cucumber, tomato and onion added.

Steps:
- Place lentils and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- The following is for green lentils, other kinds of lentils take less time to cook. So check your package directions. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender but not mushy.
- Drain and allow to cool.
- Place cooled lentils in a mixing bowl and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
- Suggested to serve immediately but I think it's better after sitting.

LENTIL SALAD WITH CURRY SPICES AND YOGURT
This is a delicious, simple, and inexpensive recipe. You can make it even easier by using the vegetables raw, rather than blanching them. I'd bet that regular lentils would work well in this, too.

Steps:
- Rinse the lentils and place them in a medium saucepan; cover with water and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer (the original recipe said to boil for 15-20 minutes -- I find it takes longer to cook the lentils).
- Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil and drop the onion in for 15 seconds. Scoop out with a strainer and splash with vinegar.
- Drop in the carrot for 1 minute to blanch.
- In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 1 tb vinegar, and spices.
- Drain the lentils when tender; remove the bay leaf and toss all ingredients together. Toss in cilantro before serving.
WARM LENTIL AND ACORN SQUASH SALAD WITH YOGURT VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- For the salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash halves into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin intact. Add to a bowl and toss with 3 generous tablespoons of the olive oil, the thyme and season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Roast the squash until fork tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
- Add 3 cups water, the lentils, onions, garlic, lemon slices, bay leaf, red pepper flakes and some black pepper to a medium saucepot. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and drain. Discard the onions, lemons and bay leaf. Put the lentils in a large glass mixing bowl, toss with a scant tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
- For the caramelized onions: Meanwhile, place a large saute pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until starting to color, about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to low. Caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes; the onions should be tacky and deep golden brown. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- For the yogurt vinaigrette: In a large glass mixing bowl, whisk the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mint, cilantro and scallions together until incorporated. Drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until smooth, about a minute. Add the yogurt and continue whisking until creamy, an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate in an airtight container until ready for use, or up to 3 days.
- To serve: When the squash is cool enough to handle, transfer to bowl with the lentils. Drizzle in the yogurt vinaigrette and toss to coat completely. Spoon into a large serving dish and garnish with the caramelized onions.

Steps:
- Bring 2 inches of water to a boil and salt it. Add the lentils and cook for 22 minutes, or until tender. Drain the lentils. While the lentils cook, combine the garlic and shallots with the lemon juice and vinegar in a bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the cumin and EVOO, then add the lentils, radishes, and parsley. Toss to dress the salad. Add the black pepper. Adjust the salt and pepper and reserve until ready to serve.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- While the lentils work, in a bowl, combine the ground lamb or chicken with the chopped onions, grill seasoning, cumin, mint, and parsley. Drizzle the meat with EVOO and mound the mixture together, then score it with your hand to divide the meat evenly. Form 8 small patties, 1 inch thick and 2 or 3 inches across, and add the patties to the hot skillet. Cook the mini lamb patties for 2 minutes on each side for medium doneness, 4 minutes on each side for fully cooked chicken patties.
- Serve a mound of salad with 2 patties and 1 warm flat bread or pita per serving.
ORZO SALAD WITH LENTILS AND ZUCCHINI
The key to vibrant yet substantial summer salads is to mix raw and cooked ingredients and incorporate as many textures as possible. This one achieves that abundance in a streamlined manner by cooking lentils and orzo together in one pot. Start with the lentils, then add the orzo partway through cooking so both become tender at once. (You can do the same with any boiling ingredients.) The chewy orzo and velvety lentils then meet crisp, raw zucchini, crunchy nuts, and the pep of pickled peppers, scallions, lemon and a whole lot of fresh herbs - none of which requires more than a little chopping from you. Eat this protein-rich salad on its own, or add soft-boiled eggs, tinned fish, feta or pecorino, as you wish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lentils and cook for 9 minutes, then add the orzo and cook until the lentils and orzo are cooked through but not mushy, another 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the oil, lemon juice and pepperoncini. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. If using small or medium zucchini, halve them lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. (If using large zucchini, quarter them lengthwise first, then slice crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick triangles.) Add to the dressing and stir to combine.
- Drain the lentils and orzo very well, then add to the zucchini, along with the pistachios and scallions. Stir to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the herbs just before serving. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Salad keeps, refrigerated, for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature and adjust seasonings before eating.)

- Begin by cooking the lentils. Rinse the lentils and discard any small stones. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the lentils and bay leaf. Cook according to package directions, or until lentils are tender. (It usually takes about 20 minutes.) Drain lentils, and discard bay leaf. Let lentils drain thouroughly while you make the garlic yogurt sauce. (You want them to be as dry as possible before pan-frying them!)
- For the garlic yogurt sauce, add the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until all ingredients are completely combined and creamy. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the arugula, fennel, red onion, avocado, dill, and mint. Toss gently to combine. Set aside. Make the vinaigrette. In a medium bowl, whisk together the shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until combined. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
- Finish making the crispy lentils. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, add the lentils and press down with the back of a rubber spatula or wooden spoon into a flat, even layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes (don't stir!), then stir, press the lentils down again, and let the other side crisp up for another 3-4 minutes. At this point, they should be crispy, but you can repeat this process until they are crispy enough for your liking! Season to taste with salt and pepper.
