2 Servings, 530 Calories/Serving

30 Minutes

This colorful summer salad has a surprising mix of flavors and textures with fiber- and protein-rich lentils and pistachios. Sweet roasted carrots spiced with ras al hanout tame the slight bitterness of radicchio, which is prepared by sautéing half for sweetness and leaving the rest raw for crunch.
