Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the carrots

    Peel the carrots and cut them into small 5 mm cubes.

  2. Cook the carrots

    In the skillet over medium heat, cook the diced carrots with a splash of water for 5 min to soften them without browning.

    Tip · To keep the carrots from sticking, add a little water while they cook if needed.

  3. Cook the sausages

    In the same skillet, add the whole smoked sausages and brown them for 3 min on each side over medium heat. Take them out and slice them into rounds.

  4. Drain the lentils

    Open the can of green lentils, drain them well and rinse them under cold water.

  5. Cook the onion

    In the skillet, cook the thinly sliced red onion over low heat for 2 min, until it turns translucent.

  6. Mix the ingredients

    Add the drained lentils, sausage rounds and carrots to the skillet. Mix well.

  7. Dress the salad

    In a bowl, mix the cider vinegar, mustard, canola oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle it over the salad and toss again.

    Tip · Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving, especially if you like bolder flavors.
