Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 cup sweet cherries (halved and pitted)
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup black lentils (picked over and rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted pepitas
  • 6 cups spring salad mix
  • 8 sweet cherries (pitted)
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon organic cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instruction

  • Place the lentils in a small pot with enough water to cover them by one inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain off extra water and set lentils aside to cool.
  • Place the 8 cherries, white vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, organic cane sugar, salt and pepper in the food processor or blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and emulsified. Set aside.
  • Place the spring salad mix, cherries, cooled lentils, red onions, and pepitas on a large platter or in a bowl. Drizzle with the cherry vinaigrette before serving.
