Warm Lentil & Spinach Salad

Ingredients

  • 250g cooked Puy lentils
  • 150g baby spinach
  • 1 red onion, sliced and caramelised
  • 50g sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Warm the lentils in a pan with a splash of water.
  2. Whisk vinegar, olive oil, honey and garlic for the dressing.
  3. Combine warm lentils with spinach — the heat will gently wilt the leaves.
  4. Add caramelised onion and sun-dried tomatoes.
  5. Pour over dressing and season generously.
