Steps:
- Place lentils and 1 bay leaf in a saucepan with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes; drain and discard bay leaf. Rinse with cold water until lentils cool and transfer to a large bowl.
- Bring 2 cups water, quinoa, and remaining bay leaf to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse quinoa with cold water until cool, discarding bay leaf. Stir quinoa into lentils.
- Heat lemon juice in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave until warm, about 30 seconds. Stir honey into juice until dissolved. Add vinegar and salt; whisk in olive oil and season with black pepper. Pour lemon juice mixture into lentils and quinoa.
- Mix walnuts, cranberries, feta cheese, and green onion into lentil and quinoa salad. Toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.

LENTIL, QUINOA, AND MUNG BEAN SALAD
Packed with fiber, protein, and potassium and lightly dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. This is a family favorite that is always requested for cookouts. I sometimes add a little honey as the acid in lemons can vary depending on the lemon that is used. Top each serving with a little feta, if desired.

Steps:
- Make dijon vinaigrette: Place 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard in a jar and cover tightly; shake well and set aside until ready to use.
- Rinse quinoa in cold water. Place in a heavy-bottom saucepot and add 1/2 teaspoons salt and the broth. Bring to a simmer over low heat, cover and cook until broth has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Qinoa should be fluffy and plump.
- Place lentils, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and vegetable bouquet garni (made by tying the carrot, celery and parsley together with twine) in a medium saucepot. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender and water has been absorbed. Cool.
- Place quinoa and lentils in a bowl and dress with Dijon vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then transfer to a serving platter.
- Combine all remaining vegetables and herbs in a mixing bowl, dress with lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and fennel pollen (if desired). Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse in cold water. In a large microwave-proof bowl with a cover, add the rinsed quinoa and 1 1/4 cups water. Cover and microwave on high for 9 minutes. Let it sit for 2 minutes then stir. Quinoa should be tender enough to eat, but with a little "pop" upon biting.
- Put the lentils in a sieve and rinse in cold water. In a saucepan, simmer the lentils in 2 cups water until the lentils are tender, but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk the mustard and vinegar together, and drizzle in the oil to make an emulsion. Add the garlic powder, lime zest, and salt, and pepper, to taste.
- To assemble the salad: In a medium salad bowl, mix the quinoa, lentils, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Top the salad with the dressing, toss to coat and serve.
