Chipotle Sweet Potatoes & Lentils
with Citrus-Pecan Salad
Beluga lentils, a type of small, black lentil with an earthy flavor, retain their firm texture once cooked. The pecans in the citrus salad accentuate the nutty flavor of the lentils, and roasted sweet potatoes offer a silky, starchy contrast to the refreshing Valencia orange in this high-protein dinner.
