Directions
Lentil, Tomato, and Goat Cheese Salad,Nice change of pace salad, perfect year-round, but especially nice for summer pot-lucks and cookouts, as there’s no mayo to spoil. You could tweak this recipe quite a lot and add different spices to get a whole new recipe. This could work as both a main meal or as a side dish, depending on your preference.,I had some lentils to use up but wasn’t in the mood for soup. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for! This will be a great summer side.,This was a great salad, especially with some lemon squeezed over it. The goat cheese and nuts were good on it, but certainly not necessary components. Evelyn’s suggestion of using feta instead of goat cheese is a good one – that would match this dish well. I tailored this to our tastes and used less oil, mustard and goat cheese and more parsley and dill. The fresh garlic was perfect for me, I didn’t think it was overpowering at all. This would be good for a picnic.
