A very easy recipe that you will be able to make very quickly and that will taste great. Take note:
INGREDIENTS: ( 4 persons)
- 200 gr of lentils pardiñas or a jar of cooked lentils
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cooked beets
- 1 red onion
- 200 gr feta cheese in cubes
- 100 gr of fresh cooked or canned peas
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- A bouquet of coriander and fresh mint
- A teaspoon of salt
- 60 ml of extra virgin olive oil (Aove)
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- Optional: some pine nuts
RECIPE ELABORATION STEP BY STEP:
- It would be easy to use a jar of cooked lentils, if not, use a good lentil pardiña, wash them and cook them until al dente, with a little salt and a few bay leaves. The cooking time depends on the freshness of the lentil and the pot you use. Between 20-40 minutes. When they are ready, run them under cold water, put them in a big bowl, and let them cool down, if they are from a pot, wash them.
- Peel the red onion and cut it into thin slices. Cut the tomatoes in halves once they are washed, chop the coriander and mint and finally, dice the beet.
- Add everything to the bowl along with the lentils, feta cheese and peas and stir.
- All that remains is to make the vinaigrette: in a glass jar with a lid, pour the Aove, juice, salt, mustard and honey and shake well. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir. If you like more dressing, prepare twice as much vinaigrette.
- Optionally, you can add some chopped pistachios and it is ready to enjoy.
