Dreaming of Coconut Ginger Rice & Lentils and Roasted Roots with Green Salsa

 

Coconut Ginger Rice & Lentils, from I Dream of Dinner (so you don't have to)


Making this Coconut Ginger Rice & Lentils soup from I Dream of Dinner (so you don't have to) was definitely a low effort with a high reward recipe! As you can see, it doesn't require many ingredients and I happened to have all of them on hand. This soup is perfect for our fall weather and it warms you from the inside out. I added grated fresh ginger, grated lime, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime on top for a finishing touch. I could see tossing some pepitas or roasted cashews on top as well. I love that I can bring this to a gathering for my gluten free, vegetarian, and/or dairy free friends. This was simple and delicious! 




Roasted Roots with Green Salsa


This Roasted Recipe with Green Salsa from I Dream of Dinner (so you don't have to!) sounded intriguing as you roast root vegetables and top them with tomatillo salsa and cotija. You can't go wrong with roasting sweet potatoes and carrots. The tomatillo salsa was very underwhelming and the cotija didn't provide much more excitement. We were disappointed and I wouldn't make this again. It felt like the vegetables would be more appreciated without the salsa and I'd definitely use feta for a topping instead to provide a nice contrasting bite.
