Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green or brown lentils
- 1 cup Radish sprouts
- 1 medium, diced Cucumber
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the lentils under cold water and pick out any debris.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the lentils are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely dice the red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, radish sprouts, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad for garnish.
Serve immediately as a fresh and vibrant salad, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
