Makes 6 servings

Your family might battle over who gets the last serving!

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) reduced sodium vegetable or chicken broth

1/2 cup dried baby red lentils, rinsed

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp. honey

1 Tbsp. cider vinegar

1/2 small shallot, minced

1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper

6 cups packed sturdy greens (kale, escarole, Swiss chard or mustard greens), washed and chopped

1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Heat broth and water to a boil in medium sauce pot.  Add lentils; reduce heat to simmer and cook until lentils are tender, about 7 minutes (do not overcook); drain.

While lentils are cooking, whisk oil, mustard, honey, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper in small bowl.

Drain lentils; gently toss with greens in serving bowl.  Add dressing and toss to coat.  Sprinkle with goat cheese and serve.

Note:
I prepared this salad with 3 cups each of red Swiss chard and mustard greens and it was PHENOMENAL.
