Instructions
Step 1
Cook the freekeh and lentils separately in salted boiling water until done, about 20 mins or so. Drain and allow to cool.
Step 2
Toast the seeds and nuts in a dry frying pan until golden and toasty. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Assemble the dressing by mixing together the ingredients and tasting for flavour balance. I like it a bit sweet, but balanced by the cumin and salt.
Step 4
Assemble the salad by tossing together all the ingredients in a large salad bowl, so the salad is coated in the olive oil. Serve with the cumin yoghurt dressing.
