An unusual pairing of lentils, peaches, and plums makes for a delicious and fresh summer salad that is both gluten free and vegan. —Courtney
Ingredients
-
1 cup
lentils
-
2 cups
water
-
1 pinch
salt
-
1 1/2 to 2 cups
diced stone fruits (peaches, plums, etc.)
-
1/2 cup
coarsely chopped toasted almonds
-
1
small red onion, minced
-
1 teaspoon
finely chopped lemon thyme leaves
-
1
large handful baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
-
1 splash
apple cider vinegar
-
juice of 1/2 a small lemon
-
1-2 tablespoons
extra virgin olive oil
Directions
-
Rinse the lentils and combine them with the water and a pinch of salt in a pot over medium high heat. Bring the water to a boil, then lower it to a simmer and cook the lentils (uncovered) for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are cooked through, but still have a bit of bite to them. Drain the lentils, rinse them under cold water, then set them aside to continue draining until you need them.
-
In a large bowl, toss together the lentils with the cider vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil (if using), and a good pinch of salt. Add in the remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
