• 份量: 4 servings
• 准备时间: 20 minutes
• 总时间: 20 minutes

配料

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste + black pepper)

1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

1 can lentils (15 oz / 400 g can — drained and rinsed or 1½ cup / 230 g cooked lentils)

4 cooked beets (about 14 oz / 400 g — diced (vacuum-packed “steamed beets” like Love Beets work great)

3 clementines (1 cup / 150 g, or seedless mandarin oranges peeled and diced)

½ cup walnuts (toasted and chopped)

¼ cup fresh parsley (or mint — chopped)

步骤

Make the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper.

Stir in 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled) until the dressing turns creamy and slightly chunky.

Marinate the Lentils: Add 1 can lentils (drained and rinsed) to the bowl and stir to coat. Let them sit while you prep the other ingredients so they absorb the dressing flavor.

Assemble the Salad: Dice 4 cooked beets, peel and chop 3 clementines, and roughly chop ½ cup walnuts and ¼ cup fresh parsley. Add everything to the bowl with the lentils and toss until evenly coated.

Serve or Refrigerate: Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 3 days. For a festive look, spread the salad on a platter and sprinkle with extra feta or pomegranate seeds before serving.
