Background

This warm lentil, tomato and spinach salad is a super healthy dish that can be served as a main or a side dish with sausage, steak and so on. You can turn it into a super-fast dish,by using using tinned, pre-cooked lentils - in which case just rinse and add them to the sautéed onion.

Ingredients

150g green lentils
1 clove of garlic
½ stick of celery
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small red onion
100g baby spinach leaves
100g cherry tomatoes
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves
1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Cook the lentils, garlic and celery in a pot of water until tender. This should take about 25 minutes. Drain any excess water from the lentils and set them aside. Discard the celery.
Meanwhile slice the onion and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium. Add the onion and cook until softened, for about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until just wilted.
Add the tomatoes, lentils & herbs and stir well. Cook for a couple of minutes until warmed through, then stir in the lemon juice.
Season with salt and pepper.
