French Lentil Salad From Skinny Bitch in the Kitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin
Makes 6-8 servings.
1 cup French lentils (any lentils will work just fine)
2 cups water
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I use 3 tablespoons and it turns out just fine and in fact, could probably be reduced even further)
2 tablespoons white wine or champagne vinegar
1/2 tablespoon fresh chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dry tarragon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 Belgian endive (about 8 ounces), halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices (can use regular endive)
1 green pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
In a 1- to 2-quart saucepan over high heat, combine the lentils and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a
simmer, cover, and cook 35 to 45 minutes, until the lentils are al dente, tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, tarragon, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Once the lentils are cooked, drain any water left in the pot and transfer the lentils to a large bowl. Toss with about half the dressing and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Once the lentils are cool, stir in the tomatoes, endive, bell peppers, and parsley. Add the remaining dressing, tossing gently. Serve cold or at room temperature.

A Really Cool Way to Shuck Corn...Organic Corn
This video demonstrates a really easy way to cook corn on the cob without having to shuck it first.
I urge you to use only organic corn as corn that is not organic can be and probably has been genetically modified to create its own pesticide. Organic corn, or corn carrying the label "Non-GMO Project Verified", has not been genetically modified:
