Rancho Gordo’s Lentil and Carrot Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette – A New Lunchtime Staple

When I ordered my first supply of Rancho Gordo beans, I signed up for their email list which includes periodic bean recipes.  If the first recipe is an indication of how good their recipes are, consider me a fan! 

Their lentil and carrot salad with mustard vinaigrette was delicious – the lentils (earthy), parsley (herby), carrot (sweet), and mustard vinaigrette (tart) all individually and collectively shined in this simple salad that can last for days.  I can see myself making this not only for lunches, but also for summertime gatherings as a healthy side.

Carrot Lentil Salad

The modifications I made included:

  • Used 1/2 cup dried lentils, cooked for 7 minutes high pressure in the Instant Pot (natural release)
  • I didn't measure the vinaigrette ingredients apart from the mustard, and I used approx. 2/3 of the vinaigrette (leftovers in a conventional lettuce salad later in the week)
  • Used 5 small carrots
