Ingredients
The Vegan Lentil Salad
- 3 cups brown lentils cooked
- 1 avocado cut into slices
- 2-3 spinach fresh, handfuls
- 1/2 cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 2 apples small , cut into small pieces
- 1 pomegranate
The Tahini Orange Dressing
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 6 tablespoons water
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the lentils according to the instructions on the package.
- Cut the pomegranate into halves and remove the seeds. I like to do this in a bowl of water because then it doesn't get all messy. Fill a large bowl with water. Place halved pomegranate into the water. Use your fingers to break the seeds out. Remove the white fiber that floats at the top of the water.
- Put all ingredients into a big salad bowl.
- Make the dressing: Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the lentil salad.
