Ingredients
Ingredients for the vegan Mediterranean salad with lentils
1
cup
brown lentils
raw
15
cherry tomatoes
or 1 large tomato
½
cucumber
10
olives
Sauce for vegan Mediterranean salad with lentils
2
Tbsp
olive oil
3
Tbsp
balsamic vinegar
1
tsp
oregano
salt and pepper
Instructions
Simmer the lentils for 20 minutes (or until softened).
While boiling, cut the cherry tomatoes and the cucumber into small pieces and the olives into slices (after removing the pit).
In a cup, mix well all the ingredients for the sauce.
Put the boiled lentils in a salad bowl and let them cool. Then, add the rest of the ingredients and the sauce and mix gently.
Serve at room temperature or put your salad in the fridge and serve it cold (ideal for hot days).
Notes
Simmer the lentils so that the water does not boil too much. We want them to soften but not break.
In the boiling water of the lentils you can add ¼ tsp curry and ¼ tsp turmeric.
Once the lentils are boiled, ypu can put them in the fridge to cool faster.
