backyard picniclentil & beet salad with buttery corn on the cob
The lentil & beet salad is from Martha Stewart Living, July 2009. The concept is simple: cooked beets are placed on top of cooked, seasoned lentils. The salad is successful because of the vibrant, savory fresh herbs - mint & cilantro. Personally, I skipped the coriander seeds, and made a couple of substitutions, and the result was a refreshing, sweet, tangy, and nutritious vegetarian dinner.
