Directions
The Best Lentil Salad, Ever,This recipe was created by Sarah Britton and posted on the My New Roots blog. She calls it the best lentil salad ever, and I have to agree. I serve this over a small bed of baby arugula, and top the salad with some crumbled goat cheese for a healthy, tasty meatless meal. Other optional add-ins mentioned by Sarah are walnuts, fresh herbs & sprouts.,wonderful recipe, made with French lentils. Needed to cook a little longer but came out perfect. The flavors mingle wonderfully. Definitely can serve to company. Deserving of a 5 star rating. Thank you for posting.,I found this recipe on whole living daily years ago and it’s my go to. I’ve made with random canned lentils in a pinch and it’s still good. Can add any assortment of roasted veg (e.g. beets, sweet potatoes, green beans, brocoli, etc) and also serve over mixed greens or baby spinach. It’s great with some toasted nuts, goat cheese (if you eat dairy). I usually double the dressing because it keeps well, and then I can make it again another time, because the most time consuming part is mixing the spice blend. For that matter I should mix up the spice blend to just add the wet dressing ingredients when needed.

Rinse Lentils Well, Drain. Place in a Pot and Cover With a 3-4 Inches of Water, Bring to a Boil, Reduce to Simmer. Check Lentils For Doneness After 10 Minutes, but They Should Take About 15 Minutes in Total. You Will Know They Are Cooked If They Still Retain a Slight Tooth Al Dente! (overcooking the Lentils Is the Death of This Dish) Drain & Rinse the Lentils Under Cold Water and Set Aside. |
