About this recipe
This recipe is one of three meals that are made with some of the same ingredients. Cook one or try cooking them as a “stack” of three to best utilize your time and ingredients. Start with French Lentils. After cooking that, you will be part-way towards two other meals in the stack: this one, Arugula and Lentil Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts, and Creamy Coconut Lentil Soup.
Instructions
Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and broil on high until lightly brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine arugula, red pepper, cucumber and lentils. Drizzle over some Dijon Vinaigrette, then garnish salad with toasted hazelnuts and lemon zest.
