Description

Earthy beetroot, warm lentils and creamy goat’s cheese make a colourful, satisfying salad with plenty of texture.

Ingredients
    Salad
  • 500g cooked beetroot, cut into wedges
  • 400g tin green lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 120g goat’s cheese, crumbled
  • 100g rocket or mixed leaves
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 50g walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
    • Dressing
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1
    Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan for 2–3 minutes, then set aside.
  2. 2
    Warm the lentils gently in the same pan with a tablespoon of water. Season with black pepper.
  3. 3
    Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard and honey.
  4. 4
    Arrange the leaves, warm lentils, beetroot and red onion in a serving bowl. Add the goat’s cheese and walnuts, drizzle over the dressing and finish with parsley.
Note

Use plain cooked beetroot rather than beetroot preserved in vinegar. Add the goat’s cheese at the end so it stays in distinct creamy pieces.
