Saged Greens with Lentils
We celebrate a true “power couple” tonight. Heart-healthy, high protein lentils get married to the pride of K Street (vitamin K that is), Swiss Chard. They arrive for this evening’s festivities with an entourage of protein-powered quinoa and widely acclaimed caramelized onions.
They appear as perfect examples of good taste. The evening promises to be a most memorable event.
