RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 cups cooked rice

2 cups cooked penne pasta

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cumin, divided

1/2 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder

1 cup cooked lentils

1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon McCormick Crushed Red Pepper

3 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)

2 medium onions, thinly sliced (about 2 cups), optional*

DIRECTIONS

Whisk together vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Add cooked lentils and stir to combine. Spoon over rice and pasta.

Combine tomatoes, water, sugar, cinnamon, salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and red pepper in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
