Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 1 hr | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 c French puy lentils

• 1 orange, peeled and chopped

• 1 grapefruit, peeled and chopped

• 1 large red beet

• 1 large golden beet

• 4 c mixed greens

• Lemon Yogurt Dressing

Directions

1. Simmer lentils covered in 3 cups of water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and refrigerate.

2. Then trim off all but about 1 inch of the beet greens. Leave the root. In a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender when pierced. Smaller beets take about 20 minutes, medium beets about 30 minutes, and large beets about 40 minutes or more. Drain and allow the beets to cool for a few minutes. Then place them under cool water and rub off the skins with your fingers. Slice thinly and refrigerate.

3. Layer lentils on a bed of mixed greens. Top with sliced beets and then citrus. Drizzle with Lemon Yogurt Dressing.
