2 Tbsp (30 mL) balsamic vinegar 2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard

4 tsp (1 mL) pepper

Serves 8 (1⁄2 cup (125 mL) serving size)
SuBStitutionS:
Can use all canola oil, olive oil or camelina oil in the dressing.
Beets can be either boiled or roasted, then cooled and diced.
Can use cooked beluga lentils or du puy lentils instead of the green lentils.
Can add leftover grilled corn to the salad for a smoky twist.
Can also use large bocconcini instead of the baby. Just cut into small pieces.
tip! Cooking lentils: Cook on a stovetop, using 3 cups (750 mL) of liquid (water, stock, etc) to 1 cup (250 mL) of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will double or triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender. For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes.
