Chewy plump grains and earthy lentils make this salad hearty, while crunchy apple and refreshing lemon keep it light. This recipe can be found on our bags of Whole Grain Medley.
1 cup
Apple
diced (about 1 medium Fuji or Braeburn)
1/2 cup
Celery

8 oz

1/4 cup
Sweet Onion
diced
1/4 cup
Chopped Walnuts

1/4 cup
Tarragon

Instructions
Combine 3 cups water and Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grain Medley in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until grains are soft, 60 – 90 minutes. In a smaller pot, bring remaining 1 cup of water to a boil. Add Bob’s Red Mill Petite French Green Lentils, reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 20 – 30 minutes. Drain both grains and lentils very well and set aside to cool, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, honey, lemon zest, garlic, mustard and salt and process until smooth. With the machine running, very slowly stream in the olive oil until a smooth emulsion forms, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
When the grains and lentils have thoroughly cooled, combine together with the apple, celery, tuna, onion, walnuts, tarragon and dressing. Mix well.
