Sastojci

1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained // see note

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil (or additional extra-virgin olive oil)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

⅔ cup (100 grams) drained canned artichoke hearts, chopped into bite-sized pieces

½ cup (92 grams) drained canned lentils

½ cup green onion tops, green parts only

Upute

Cook the quinoa according to package directions. I usually use my Instant Pot: 1 cup quinoa, 1½ cups cold water, and ½ teaspoon salt. Pressure cook for 1 minute, then let it naturally release for 10 minutes.

While the quinoa cooks, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, garlic-infused olive oil, lemon juice and dried thyme in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal and shake until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl. Add the chopped artichokes, lentils, green onion tops, and lemon dressing. Stir gently to combine.

If preferred, chill the salad for 30-60 minutes.

Serve. This salad is best chilled, but can also be enjoyed warm.
