Notes
  1. NOTE FROM NANCY: Parents are ALWAYS shocked to learn their kids ate this delicious dish after learning to prepare it in our classes. The spicy, peppery flavor of fresh-picked arugula, combined with the earthiness of the lentils and the tartness of the fresh lime juice makes this dish a winner!
