Here’s another Engine 2 recipe which makes a good lunch.  The original recipe calls for whole wheat orzo but I couldn’t find it so any whole wheat or gluten free pasta will do.
Makes 1 medium serving
Ingredients:
·      ¼ cup + 1 Tbs. whole wheat pasta (orzo if possible) or brown rice pasta
·      1 cup baby kale, chopped fine
·      2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped fine
·      ¼ red pepper, diced
·      ¼ can no-salt canned black beans (or 1/3 cup precooked)
·      2 Tbs. walnuts, chopped
·      1 Tbs. water
·      ½ tsp. mustard
·      ½ tsp. paprika
·      ¼ tsp. chili powder
·      ¼ lime
Optional:  Sea salt and pepper, hot sauce or cayenne pepper
 
Method:
 
1.    Cook the whole wheat orzo according to the directions on the package. When ready, drain the water.
2.    In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: water, mustard, chili powder, and paprika.
3.    Chop the baby kale and fresh parsley into tiny pieces. Dice the red pepper.
4.    Drain and rinse the canned black beans.
5.    In a larger bowl, mix together the vegetables, pasta, beans, and dressing. Squeeze a lime wedge over the dish, and add additional seasoning (salt and pepper) to taste. Add hot sauce or cayenne pepper for additional flavor.
