Curry Lentil and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
Day 5 of our 5 Days of Salads and if you know my site you will know we almost always have a vegetarian choice like this Curry Lentil and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad. In addition, we love vegetarian dishes especially if they have one of my favorite ingredients in it and that is lentils.
Also, we are all big fans of any kind of lentil when it is spiced well. This time with a Potato and Pea Curry that I received from Ace Curries to Go.
A perfect curry blend of Ginger, Coriander, Cumin, Tumeric, Caraway, Red Chili, Cloves, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, and Bishops Weed.
I decided to use it a bit differently and added it to the lentils while they cooked and then tossed the roasted butternut squash with the lentils. It turned out fabulous!!! Just what I was hoping for!!
Unique Flare
This is a very unique salad that is full of flavor!! You will love it. Instead of your traditional salad, I used a bed of romaine, arugula, and cilantro and it married perfectly with the lentils.
Just a simple store-bought balsamic vinaigrette drizzled on the greens and you have an amazing simple salad.
