Ingredients
- 3 french green lentils cooled (cooked whole)
- 1 garlic clove (peeled)
- 1/2 scallions (sliced)
- 1 pound penne
- 1 cup carrot (grated)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes left if (whole)
- 1 cup celery (finely diced)
- 3/8 cup vegetable oil
- 3/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup pine nuts (toasted optional)
- 3 tablespoons wine vinegar (white)
- 1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
In the bottom of a mixing bowl combine the oils, vinegar and Dijon mustard. Pass the garlic through a press into the dressing and season it well with salt and pepper. Add all the ingredients but the pine nuts and toss to blend. Adjust the seasoning; add a bit more of whatever you think the salad needs.
Top each portion of salad with the pine nuts.
