My sister's neighbor gave her this really easy recipe for lentil tacos and while I love it, I think it is actually even better as a simple salad. Just a few ingredients and you have a healthy and delicious vegetarian meal perfect for when you are short on time.
Start out by heating up a little olive oil in a large saucepan. Add in a container of TJ's chopped onion, garlic, and shallot mix and saute until the onions are translucent.
Add in a package of pre-cooked lentils and use your spoon to break them up. Add in some salt and pepper and a little cayenne if you want a bit of a kick. Stir it every so often until the lentils are warmed through.
Put a bag of arugula into a large serving bowl. Squeeze on the juice of a lemon, some olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and some shaved parmesan, romano, asiago mix. Toss this all together.
Add the lentil mixture to the salad mixture, give it a quick toss, and lunch is served.
