Lentil and Herb Salad

Prep time 30 minutes Servings 4

Lentil and herb salad is a warm, protein-rich lunch that keeps well for days, a genuinely good option for meal prep. Legumes are one of D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04's named pairings, and its gentle herbal character carries through the whole bowl.

Ingredients

1 cup dried green or brown lentils
1/3 cup D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
1/4 red onion, finely diced
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Rinse the lentils under cold water, picking out any debris, then place in a pot with plenty of water.
Bring to a simmer and cook 15 to 20 minutes, checking often near the end, until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape, not mushy.
Drain well and let cool slightly, they should still be warm, not hot.
While the lentils cook, whisk D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
Toss the warm lentils with the dressing, red onion, parsley, and mint, the residual heat helps the lentils soak up more flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
