Quinoa Lentil Bowl

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the quinoa and lentils

   • In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
   • In another small saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils, 1.5 cups of water, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water.
   • Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set both aside.
2. 2

   Prepare the tahini dressing

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and minced garlic until it forms a thick paste.
   • Gradually whisk in the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is smooth and pourable.
   • Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust if needed.
