Mujadara (Lebanese Lentils, Rice and Caramelized Onions)

I am not going to explain how to make mujadara, because this website I will link to will do a much better job. 

Lentils (1.08)
Rice (.72)
Onion (1.00)
Olive oil (free)

2.80 (Yes, 2.80)

So... grab a head of romaine ($1.98), a small tomato (.50?) and a lemon (.33)
Your new total is 5.61

While you are making the mujadara, cut, wash and spin the romaine for a salad. Cut the tomato and swipe a little of the onion that you cut for the mujadara and use it in your salad. Dress with olive oil (free) and fresh lemon juice.
