Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Drain and rinse the lentils

    Open the can of lentils (800 g drained) and pour it into a colander. Rinse them under cold water, let them drain well, then put them in the mixing bowl.

    Tip · Rinse the canned lentils well until the water runs clear, otherwise the salad will taste like the can.

  2. Slice the red onion

    Peel the red onion and cut it into thin slices. Add it to the mixing bowl with the lentils.

  3. Chop the dill

    Rinse the bunch of dill, pat it dry and finely chop the fronds. Add them to the mixing bowl.

  4. Make the vinaigrette

    Squeeze the lemon. Add the juice to the mixing bowl with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil and 0.5 tbsp of balsamic vinegar.

  5. Season and toss

    Season lightly with salt and pepper, then toss well so the lentils are coated in vinaigrette.

  6. Cut the avocado and salmon

    Halve the avocado, remove the pit, then dice the flesh. Cut the 100 g of smoked salmon into strips.

    Tip · Cut the avocado at the last minute so it doesn't brown, or drizzle it with a little of the lemon juice squeezed in step 4 if you have to wait.

  7. Plate the salad

    Divide the lentils between two plates, then top with the avocado and smoked salmon. Finish with a grind of black pepper.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. Avocado turns brown within hours once cut. Save it for the day you eat it, it'll look way more appetizing!
