Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green lentils
- 3 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the green lentils under cold water using a fine mesh sieve.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils, 3 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the lentils well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.
In the meantime, prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and dice the red bell pepper.
Add the prepared vegetables and chopped fresh parsley to the cooled lentils.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the lentil and vegetable mixture, and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste if necessary.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour to enhance flavors. Enjoy your Whole30 Linsensalat!
