LENTIL SALAD WITH WALNUT OIL



Lentil Salad With Walnut Oil image

This dish is inspired by a recipe from "The Paris Cookbook," by Patricia Wells. I'd never thought about using walnut oil, which is high in omega-3 fats, with lentils. It's a great combination. Be sure to keep walnut oil in the refrigerator once it's opened.

CRUNCHY LENTIL WALNUT SALAD



Crunchy Lentil Walnut Salad image

This is a copycat of the fabulous Lentil Walnut Salad from the Kebab Shop in California. You want to make sure not to overcook the lentils...they should have a little bite to stand up to the crunchiness of the walnuts. Unlimited modifications could be made with additions, subtractions and/or tweaks... pine nuts instead of walnuts, add goat cheese or feta, add crunchy carrots too? Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups lentils (green or French)
1 bay leaf
salt, to season lentil water
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (or red or white)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, finely minced and mashed with the side of your knife (using a little salt helps)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils and put them in a saucepan with plenty of lightly salted water and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 20 - 25 minutes, until the lentils are tender but still have a good crunch/bite to them. Be careful to not overcook them.
  • While the lentils are cooking, make the dressing. Mix the vinegar, mustard, oil, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the dressing as you like to your taste preferences.
  • Drain the lentils well and mix them into the dressing while still warm, stirring to cook the lentils. Remove the bay leaf and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the walnuts and green onion. Taste, and add additional salt, if desired. I serve the salad at room temperature or warm. The salad can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Let it come to room temperature before serving; it may need to be re-seasoned once refrigerated.
