- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider or red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
- 1 cup dried lentils
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup diced sweet yellow pepper
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- Leaf lettuce
- 1 cup sliced cooked beets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup sliced zucchini
- 1 cup thinly sliced red radishes
- In a small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, rosemary, coriander, and garlic. Set aside.
- In a 2-quart (2-L) saucepan, combine the broth, lentils, onion, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the lentils and discard the bay leaf and any remaining broth.
- Transfer the lentils to a large bowl; add the pepper and celery. Toss gently. Whisk the dressing and pour over the lentils. Toss lightly. Chill, if desired.
- Line 4 serving plates with the lettuce. Divide the lentils, beets, carrots, zucchini, and radishes among the plates.
