Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well I made this for dinner and couldn't stay out of it. Enjoy, Donna Hot Night Cool Dinner Pasta And Lentil Salad 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or use water to cut calories) 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (don't sub this with water though) 3 to 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar works too) 1 tablespoon Dijon style mustard (brown mustard works) 1 or 2 large garlic cloves, peeled 1 pound penne or medium sized pasta shells, boiled until al dente, drained, rinsed, cooled and patted dry 3 cups cooked brown lentils, cooled, patted dry, (1 cup uncooked) 1 cup peeled,grated carrot (I slice it in thin rounds with potato peeler) 1/2 cup sliced green onions, include tops 1 cup finely diced celery 1 cup finely diced red, orange or yellow bell pepper 1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, watercress, cilantro or fresh basil 1 cup cherry tomatoes, left whole if small or halved 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds, any nut works In the bottom of a mixing bowl combine the oils, vinegar and Dijon mustard. Either microplane grate garlic or squeeze garlic through a press into the dressing and season it well with salt and pepper. Add all the ingredients but the nuts and toss to blend. Adjust the seasoning; add a bit more of whatever you think the salad needs. Top each portion of salad with the toasted nuts. Yields 4-6 servings.
