A deliciously hearty lentil salad with green lentils, kale, apple and avocado, all tossed in a creamy mustard vinaigrette. It is incredibly easy to make and tastes wonderful.
The green lentils add plenty of substance and, not least, flavour to this salad – it really is so good.
The salad also contains peas, spring onions and a generous amount of fresh parsley – lovely flavours alongside the other ingredients.
Lentil salad goes with most things – it is perfect with chicken and pork, but also with darker meat such as a steak or a minced beef patty. It works really well with food from the barbecue, and a little crumbled feta on top is very good indeed.
Leftover lentil salad is perfect for a packed lunch with a piece of chicken or turkey on top, or a little tuna stirred through.
The time-consuming part here is cooking the lentils, but they do SO much for this lentil salad, so cook them yourself rather than buying them tinned 🙂
