French Lentil & Roasted Veg Salad with Goat’s Cheese

Jo makes a French Lentil and Roasted Veg Salad with goat’s cheese, combining tender Puy lentils with golden roasted carrots and beetroot, then piling it onto peppery rocket. It’s finished with toasted walnuts and a punchy Dijon extra virgin olive oil dressing with a touch of honey and sherry vinegar. A perfect make ahead lunch or an easy dinner salad for four.

Ingredients:
For the Salad
1 cup French (Puy) lentils, rinsed
3 medium carrots, cut into batons
2 medium beetroots, cut into wedges
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups rocket
½ cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
100g goat’s cheese, crumbled
Sea salt & cracked black pepper

For the Dijon–EVOO dressing
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tsp finely chopped shallot
Salt & pepper, to taste

Method:
Place lentils in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until tender but still holding shape. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.

Preheat oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Toss carrots and beetroot separately in EVOO, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.

Whisk together EVOO, Dijon, honey, vinegar, shallot (if using), salt and pepper until smooth and emulsified.

In a large bowl, combine warm lentils with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle over most of the dressing and toss gently to coat.

Arrange rocket on a serving platter. Spoon over the lentil and veg mixture. Scatter with walnuts and crumbled goat’s cheese. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and a final touch of EVOO.
