3 slices wholegrain bread ((whole wheat))
1 cup brown lentils, cooked ((1 cup = 1/ 15oz / 235g lentils or a 400g can))

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium (2 lbs beets)
5 oz 6 cups baby arugula, rinsed and spun dry
4 oz or 1/2 cup feta cheese (diced or crumbled)
1/2 cup pecans (toasted)

1 garlic clove (pressed or finely minced)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line the bottom of a medium rimmed baking sheet with foil. Wrap each beet tightly in a sheet of foil and arrange lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until largest beet is easily pierced. Unwrap beets and cool to room temperature then peel the skins (see Pro Tip Below*) and slice into halves and then wedges.
  • Toast 1/2 cup pecans on a dry skillet, tossing frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Transfer arugula to a large mixing bowl then add remaining salad ingredients: sliced beets, feta cheese, toasted pecans and dried cranberries.
  • In a small mason jar, combine all dressing ingredients and shake well to combine. Drizzle over salad to taste. If not serving salad right away, shake the dressing again just before drizzling over salad.

BEET AND LENTIL SALAD WITH CHEDDAR



Beet and Lentil Salad With Cheddar image

This salad is a party of sweet, earthy and salty flavors. Store-bought, vacuum-packed beets are called for here, which are not only convenient, but have a mellow fruitiness and a tender texture that is ideal in salads. (If you have fresh beets, and have the time to roast them, you can use those instead.) Beets naturally pair well with sharp and tangy ingredients, and while goat cheese may be a more common accompaniment, crumbly aged Cheddar offsets the sweetness of the beets and the apple cider dressing (though any sharp Cheddar works). French green lentils offer a nutty, peppery, almost mineral-like flavor and are perfect for salads because they hold their shape well, though if you only have brown lentils, that's just fine. (They cook slightly faster, so adjust the cook time accordingly.) Finally, there's no shame in opting for canned lentils.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups French green lentils, rinsed
1 garlic clove, smashed
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups arugula leaves
1/2 cup soft herbs, such as dill, parsley, mint or cilantro, roughly chopped
1 (16-ounce) package cooked whole beets (or 1 pound roasted beets), cut into 1/2-inch wedges
4 ounces extra sharp Cheddar, roughly crumbled
1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 small garlic clove, grated
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad: In a medium pot, add the lentils, garlic and 4 cups water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until just tender. (The lentils should still have some bite). Drain in a colander and stir to break up and evenly distribute the garlic. Let the lentils cool slightly.
  • While the lentils cook, prepare the vinaigrette: In a large serving bowl, whisk the garlic, vinegar, oil, maple syrup and mustard with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Add the warm lentils to the serving bowl, then add the arugula, herbs and beets. Season with salt and black pepper and toss. Add the Cheddar and toss gently, but don't overdo it because you don't want the cheese to turn crimson from the beets. To serve, top with hazelnuts.
