French Lentil Salad
1 1/2 cups dried French lentils
1 cup peppers , chopped 1 clove of garlic
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, rehydrated in warm water for 10 minutes and chopped
1/4 cup shallots, chopped
Chopped black olives, optional
Red Wine Dressing:
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
6 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Bring a sauce pan of water of water to a boil and cook the lentils until tender-soft. Approximately 25 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water.
To lentils add peppers (you can use whatever colour combo you like to make up a cup, I like red, yellow and orange), shallots and sundried tomatoes (olives if you’re adding them).
In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients.
Add dressing to lentils in small amounts and toss until completely coated. Use your own taste as a guide to how much dressing you’d like.
Leave in the fridge overnight to all the flavours to combine. Great served with 1/2 a toasted sandwich for a filling lunch.
Until next time.
