Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, bring water and lentils to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in bulgur, quinoa and rice. Cover and cook for 12-13 minutes, or until lentils are just tender. Drain in a fine mesh sieve. Run under cold water to cool quickly. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine bell pepper, onion, lemon zest and juice, canola oil and pepper flakes. Stir until well blended.
  3. Step 3

    Stir in drained lentil mixture and mint. Toss gently until well blended. Gently fold in goat cheese and serve on lettuce leaves.
