Lemon Lentil Salad

My favourite part about this recipe is the dressing. Using lemon juice makes the flavour less acidic if your children have a sensitive palate.

directions

Step 1

To make the vinaigrette add the lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and pepper into a small jar with a lid (baby food jar will do) and shake until combined. Taste and adjust our seasoning. You can also just whisk everything together in a small bowl.

Step 2

Now add the oil, put the lid on tight, and shake again. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the lentils to a small bowl, mix in the mint and pour the dressing over top. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Serve immediately or store in the fridge, it will keep well for a day.

Step 5

** This also makes a great salad dressing but you may want to use the smaller amount of lemon juice to keep the tartness mellow. Beans or lentils will absorb more of the dressing so I like to use the higher amount of lemon.
