Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water
1/2 cup black rice , soaked overnight (this is not the same as wild rice)
1 cup black lentils
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 black radish, peeled and diced
kosher salt
1 bunch of tuscan kale , destemmed and sliced into thin strips (also called black or dinosaur kale)
1 medium carrot , julienned (if you have purple s it keeps the salad a similar colour)
3 tbsp black vinegar
1 clove black garlic, mashed
2 tbsp raw agave nectar or 2 tbsp brown rice syrup
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp light olive oil
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
salt
1 1/2 tbsp black sesame seeds

Directions:

Combine broth and water in a measuring cup.
Divide between two saucepans - 3 cups in one and 1 in the other.
Bring the pot with the lesser amount of liquid to a boil and add the black rice. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the liquid in the other pot to a boil and add the lentils. Reduce the heat to a brisk simmer and cook 20 minutes, then drain well.
When both the rice and lentils are cooked, transfer them both to a bowl and stir in the ginger. Cool completely (you can do this a day ahead).
Toss the radish dice with a good amount of Kosher salt (the exact amount depends on how large your radish is) and place in a colander. Let stand 1 hour, then rinse and drain well.
Toss the kale with the carrot, cooled lentils and rice, and rinsed radish.
In a small bowl, mix the vinegar, garlic, agave, soy sauce, oils, pepper and salt, then pour over the salad and toss well.
Cover and chill at least 24 hours.
Just before serving, fold in the black sesame seeds.
