Steps:
- Make dijon vinaigrette: Place 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard in a jar and cover tightly; shake well and set aside until ready to use.
- Rinse quinoa in cold water. Place in a heavy-bottom saucepot and add 1/2 teaspoons salt and the broth. Bring to a simmer over low heat, cover and cook until broth has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Qinoa should be fluffy and plump.
- Place lentils, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and vegetable bouquet garni (made by tying the carrot, celery and parsley together with twine) in a medium saucepot. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender and water has been absorbed. Cool.
- Place quinoa and lentils in a bowl and dress with Dijon vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then transfer to a serving platter.
- Combine all remaining vegetables and herbs in a mixing bowl, dress with lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and fennel pollen (if desired). Serve immediately.
