Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup dried French green lentils, rinsed, drained, and picked over
1 small red onion, halved
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces baby arugula (6 cups loosely packed)
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved if large
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Place lentils and 1 onion half in a medium saucepan; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; discard onion half. Transfer lentils to a medium bowl.
  • Chop remaining onion. Combine vinegar and mustard. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Add chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper. Toss lentils with half the vinaigrette; let cool.
  • Arrange half the arugula on a platter. Spoon half the lentils on top. Top with half the tomatoes and half the goat cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form another layer; drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.

This salad is a bit too expensive for my taste. I would use less goat cheese and walnuts next time.

This salad is not as flavorful as I expected. I would add some more herbs and spices next time.

The dressing for this salad is a bit too acidic for my taste. I would use less lemon juice next time.

This salad was too heavy for my taste. I would use less lentils and more arugula next time.

This is one of my favorite salads. It's so versatile and can be made with whatever vegetables you have on hand. I love adding roasted sweet potatoes or grilled zucchini.

This arugula and lentil salad with goat cheese was so flavorful and refreshing! The lentils added a nice hearty texture, while the goat cheese added a creamy tang. I also loved the addition of the toasted walnuts, which gave it a nice crunch.
