Warm & Cozy Lentil Salad

This is one of my favorite lentil dishes. It’s quick and easy to make, and tastes even
better on the second or third day!

Ingredients:
  • 3 1/2C vegetable stock
  • 1 1/2C lentils (green or brown)
  • 1 yellow onion – finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot – finely chopped
  • 1/2 red pepper – finely chopped
  • 1/4C red wine vinegar
  • 2Tb Dijon mustard
  • 1/4C fresh parsley – finely chopped
  • 1tsp thyme or oregano
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • Salt & pepper – to taste
First, cook the lentils in the veggie stock with the bay leaves added. Bring this combination to a light boil and then reduce heat to simmer until lentils are fully cooked (approx 45min or so).  If lentils are not done, and the veggie stock is used up, add a little more of the vegetable stock to the lentils and simmer a bit longer, until soft. When lentils are done, remove bay leaves and add the fresh parsley. Set aside temporarily.

Next, sauté onion, carrots, and red pepper in a bit of olive oil until tender. Once tender, add these veggies to the already cooked lentils.

Finally, combine the red wine vinegar with the mustard, thyme/oregano, and the salt & pepper. Drizzle over the lentil/veggie dish and combine all ingredients well. Season more with salt & pepper to taste. This dish is great served warm but it can also be put in the refrigerator to be served later. Honestly, it gets better with time. Enjoy! xx
