Yet another salad

Sweet things are coming soon - a vanilla angel's food cake with sweetened mascarpone and fresh berries, to be exact. But in the meantime, here is another light but substantial summer salad.

From the top left corner, going clockwise, we have:

1. brown basmati rice and green lentils, simmered together slowly till tender, drained and cooled
2. half a lemon
3. beetroot, sliced thinly, tossed in olive oil and salt and roasted at 180 C for about 25 minutes
4. parmesan, shaved
5. little baby carrots, topped and tailed, tossed with olive oil and salt and roasted at 180 C for about 25 minutes
6. fresh baby spinach

Squeeze the lemon to get its juice, toss that with everything else above, and add some salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. If you're a determined carnivore, some cold roast chicken is good in this mix.
