Lentils are an ideal food for people who do not consume meat and for those who need a vitamin boost. Remember that lenses contain a lot of iron, which is why they are especially recommended for women on “those days”. However, their preparation usually requires some premeditation since to cook them well it is better to leave them to soak the night before. As these are dates when there is not much time (there is much to do), we propose a perfect cold lentil salad recipe to welcome the New Year in a Mediterranean style.
In this recipe for lentil salad with vegetables we have minimized the preparation as much as possible. So much so that we could title it pot lentil salad. You will see in this step by step how easy it is to prepare a delicious dinner to detoxify ourselves from so much eating. By the way, this lentil salad for children is perfect for the little ones in the house to eat vegetables.
Ingredients to make Lentil Salad with Peppers:
- 300 grams of cooked lentils
- ¼ unit of red pepper
- ¼ unit of green pepper
- ¼ onion unit
- 2 garlic cloves
For the dressing
- 1 pinch of salt
- 60 milliliters of Olive Oil
- 10 milliliters of apple cider vinegar
How to make Lentil Salad with Peppers:
We start with the presentation of the ingredients of the lentil salad for children. You can add as many vegetables as you like: for example a little zucchini or some aborigine.
Finely chop all the vegetables and put them together on a plate. Today we are going to steam them instead of frying them, but if you want them to have a little more consistency, go ahead. Of course, do not forget to salt them. Drain the liquid with which the canned lentils are cooked and place them in a large container.
We cook the vegetables in the microwave to steam them with their own juice, as if it were a Catalan escalivada.
We unite the canned lentils with the vegetable mixture once it has cooled down and prepare the dressing: mix the oil and vinegar and salt the mixture. Do not put too much salt because cooked lentils usually come out a bit tasty. Now you just have to dress the pot lentil and pepper salad to your liking and it’s ready to enjoy!
