Great recipe! I made this Lentil & Quinoa salad for Easter brunch…but based on the contents of my pantry, I replaced the brown lentils with Beluga/caviar lentils and used bulgur wheat in place of the quinoa. It tasted fantastic and my guests insisted on ‘to-go’ cups so they could enjoy another serving!

I really do appreciate your recipes. I’ve been a customer for around 6 years through Amazon. And I know I’m always getting a quality product and supporting a very cool business. Also I love the Palouse country. I grew up in Wenatchee many years ago and have a soft spot in my heart for eastern Washington.
