Quinoa salad with goat cheese, tomato and lentils
this recipe is for 4 people
This rich quinoa salad is a twist on a true classic. We replace the bacon with a vegetarian option, so the that salty goodness stays intact. The goat cheese and honey-mustard dressing complete this healthy dish.

125 gram green lentils
150 gram cherry tomatoes
40 gram sun-dries tomatoes
