- 1 cup quinoa cooked
- 1 cup Roma tomato chopped
- 1 cup cucumber chopped
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 Mango cubed
- 1/3 cup goat cheese crumbled
- 2 packed cups arugula
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp grainy mustard or dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey liquid
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
Instructions

- Prepare the rest of your ingredients. Set aside.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the ingredients and set aside.
- To assemble the salad, arrange lentils, quinoa, roma tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, mango, goat cheese and arugula on a platter or in a bowl, drizzle with dressing, toss and serve.
Notes
- This salad serves 3-4 as a side salad but if you'd like to make it as a main meal, it will serve 2 topped with your favourite protein.
- Not a fan of goat cheese? Crumbled feta cheese would also be delicious.
- If you can't find roma tomatoes, chopped baby tomatoes would work well.
- Want to make this salad in different seasons? Try substituting peaches for the mango in the Summer or oranges in the Fall / Winter!
