OUI, which would be french for yes, and quinoa + quinoa + lentil = oui s’il vous plait 

We wanted lots of protein and fiber filled healthy starch for our health care teams working round the clock. Our dry storage was full of quinoa and so the double quinoa side was made, which we served with grilled chicken breast, grilled steak or mushrooms and the watermelon cucumber salad. 

1 cup red quinoa – cooked according to package instructions

1 cup white quinoa – cooked according to package instructions

1 cup black lentils – cooked according to package instructions

1 cup fresh herbs chopped

1 clove garlic, grate

1/4 cup olive oil 

Juice from one lemon 

Salt to taste 

Yeah cook to package instructions, but always make sure your quinoa starts to bloom, i.e. open up, and cook your lentils under rather than over so it does not turn into mush. Combine the cooked, and drained quinoa and lentils with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and lots of herbs and season to taste with salt.  We served this with a watermelon, cucumber salad with feta cheese dressing here -insert link – but this combo goes great with added, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese, and olives, aka as a nutrient filled greek salad.
