  1. 1

    Place green lentils in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, water, lemongrass paste, tamari, sugar, oil, lime zest and juice, green curry paste, ginger paste, and garlic paste; set the dressing aside.

  3. 3

    Drain the lentils. Refill the saucepan with fresh water so the lentils are covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are cooked through but still hold their shape, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, place kamut grains in a saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain the kamut and lentils and let them cool.

  5. 5

    Combine the cooled lentils and kamut grains in a bowl and toss to mix well. Add the tomatoes and radicchio. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Top with chopped cilantro.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
