Ingredients
Preparation
Cook the mountain lentils (80 g) in plenty of water according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain well in a sieve.
While the lentils are cooling, wash the carrot (1) thoroughly, peel it, and grate it finely.
For the dressing, vigorously whisk the olive oil (2 tbsp), apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp), mustard (1 tsp), and a pinch of salt (1 pinch) in a small bowl until a creamy emulsion forms.
Carefully mix the drained lentils and grated carrots in a bowl with the dressing.
Finally, finely chop the fresh parsley (1 tbsp) and sprinkle it over the salad – this adds the necessary freshness!
