The foundation for this recipe starts with whole grain freekeh, an ancient grain, and builds from there with lentils, chickpeas, radishes, California Avocados, fresh mint, green onion, and a simply delicious dressing of lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. If we had to choose a few words to describe this salad, it would be luscious, hearty, and crunchy.
Serves: 8
*Notes: We cooked the freekeh in water, but you can cook it in vegetable or chicken broth for additional flavor as desired.
Beverage Pairing: Club Soda or seltzer with lemon juice, a lemon slice, and torn mint leaves.
Serving Suggestion: Serve as a side dish or main meal for a summer picnic or cookout. To boost the protein even more, top with grilled tofu, chicken, turkey, or shrimp.
*
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
