A simple dressing of sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard and paprika flavors this rice and lentil salad. It's a great way to use up leftovers.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This was great - enough for lunch the next few days! I ate mine cold or at room temperature - a little extra dressing may be in order when serving as sitting in the fridge did soak up most of it. Easy, versatile and yummy!! "
