Chopped Lentil Salad
Light, crunchy and zingy. Just what you want on your plate as we transition into warmer weather (at last)!
RecipesServes 2.
Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas, drained
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 250g cooked puy lentils
- 150g cooked quinoa
- A handful of sugarsnaps, finely chopped horizontally
- 3 radishes, sliced thinly (ideally with a mandolin)
- 1 small handful of parsely, chopped
- 1 small handful of mint, chopped
For the caper-mustard dressing:
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- A pinch of salt and pepper
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Pat your drained chickpeas dry and add to a baking tin, drizzle with oil and roast for 25-30 minutes until crunchy.
- Make the dressing by adding all the ingredients to a blender, leaving a little of the lemon zest aside, and pulse until blended but still a little chunky.
- Plate your quinoa and lentils on a dish and top with the mangetout and radishes. Add the chickpeas and drizzle over the sauce. Finished with the fresh herbs and some extra lemon zest.
