We recently went to Disney's Epcot in Orlando Florida. There food there is always so on point. While visiting Epcot's Morocco, we ate at Restaurant Marrakesh. They have this TO DIE FOR lentil salad. In a park as huge as Epcot, with so many wonderful culinary choices, to say something was my favorite thing I ate all day really means something. This salad is super fresh, flavorful, and healthy! And it's also easy to make.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup green lentils
1/4 red onion, finely diced
1 bell pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonaise
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
Place lentils in a pot of 4 cups of cold water. Turn on heat to high and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and rinse with cold water to stop the lentils from cooking. Mix the lentils with all of the other ingredients. Make sure you have diced everything very finely, because you will want your onion and pepper pieces to be the same size or smaller than 1 lentil. Refrigerate until cold. Adjust seasoning as needed.
This salad is one for the books. You will love how low in fat, full of flavor, and delicious this recipe is. You might just be able to pretend you are somewhere exotic like Morocco, or at least Orlando. :)
