Ingredients
For the salad:
- 1 Cup brown lentils, uncooked
- 3 Cups water
- 1 oz Can pineapple tidbits, drained (but keep the juice) About 2/3 cup packed tidbits
- 1/2 Cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1/4 Cup red onion, minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 Cup coconut chips
For the dressing:
- 1/4 Cup pineapple juice (from the can of tidbits)
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce (GF if needed)
- 1-2 Large jalapenos, roughly chopped, to desired spiciness.
- 1 1/4 tsp fresh lime juice
- 3/4 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp ground thyme
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Rinse the lentils and stir together the water and lentils in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and add into a large bowl.
- Add all the other salad ingredients, except the coconut chips, into the bowl and stir to combine.
- In a SMALL food processor (mine is 3 cups) process all of the dressing ingredients until the jalapeno is broken down and the dressing is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
- Pour the dressing over the lentils and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours up to overnight so the lentils can absorb the dressing and develop flavor.
- When ready to serve, stir in the coconut chips* and DEVOUR!
Notes
- * You want to add these before serving, so they stay crunchy!
