Warm Lentil and Herb Salad with Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette
25 mins
This salad is the definition of quiet comfort. Earthy, tender lentils pair perfectly with bright, fragrant herbs to create a meal that leaves you feeling satisfied and truly nourished.
A wholesome, plant-based meal featuring protein-rich green lentils tossed with fresh parsley, mint, and a zesty vinaigrette. Serve it slightly warm for the best texture.
Always salt your lentil water after they have softened. Adding salt too early can toughen the skins, keeping them from becoming perfectly creamy.
