brown rice, beluga lentils, spinach, and feta salad
(1 rating)
This recipe was originally made using Orzo. I changed it to brown rice and beluga lentils in order to accommodate friends of mine with gluten intolerance. If you need to substitute for the beluga lentils, don't use brown or red as they tend to get too mushy. Green or french lentils should work well. This recipe is pretty flexible so feel free to use your imagination.
