Instructions
Salad
Step 1
Soak your green lentils in water for a couple of hours until they start to soften and swell.
Step 2
Drain your lentils.
Step 3
Bring 3 cupfuls of water to the boil and add your lentils.
Step 4
Cover and simmer for around 30 minutes – check them occasionally as you want to keep them whole. They will start to break up if they become too soft.
Step 5
Once cooked, drain them in a colander and pour cold water over them to cool them down and stop them cooking further.
Step 6
When they have cooled, add your lentils to a serving bowl.
Step 7
Now add the rest of your salad ingredients, except the tomatoes, and mix together gently.
Step 8
Scatter your chopped tomato over the top.
Dressing
Step 9
In a small bowl, mix together all your dressing ingredients and do a taste test.
Step 10
Add more lemon or oil if necessary.
Step 11
Drizzle your dressing over the salad & gently mix everything together.
