Fall Lentil Salad with Power Greens & Pomegranate

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked lentils
  • 2-3 cups power greens ( kale, spinach or shredded Brussel sprouts
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Make lentils according to package instructions.
  • Sometimes I use a pre-packaged kale, shredded Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage mix. Other times I use spinach. Whatever green you have on hand works.
  • Add a few drops of olive oil to a pan and sauté your greens until vibrant in color,
    about 2 minutes. Add onion, and cook for a few additional minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and gently mix in the chopped cucumber and
    pomegranate seeds.
  • Add lentils.
  • Toss the mixture with olive oil, white vinegar and salt
    and pepper to taste. Add chopped mint and top with feta cheese.
