Background

This easy lentil and sausage salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled sausages and turn them into something fresh and satisfying. The lentils make it filling, while the beetroot, grilled pepper, and olives add sweetness, colour, and plenty of flavour. Everything is brought together with a simple lemon and Dijon dressing that keeps the salad light and bright.
It works well for a quick lunch, an easy supper, or something different for a lunchbox. You can eat it on its own, or serve it with a slice of sourdough or toast to make it more of a meal. It’s quick to put together and doesn’t need much effort, which makes it perfect for busy days.
