We asked Sara to share a delicious, simple and picnic-friendly Summer salad recipe with us, and she has come through with the goods. A wholesome, fresh dish featuring lentils, cherries and a maple mustard vinaigrette. This salad is ideal for making ahead of time and packing on a picnic. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your protein of choice, or equally as delicious on it’s own.

BABY KALE SALAD WITH CHERRIES, MARINATED LENTILS AND GOATS CHEESE
Serves 2-4
 
INGREDIENTS:
 
Maple mustard vinegiarette

1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 small shallot, minced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt and pepper
Tip of dried herbs - basil, oregano, Italian blend, whatever

1 cup cooked lentils
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper

4 cups/5 oz. baby kale
1 cup pitted and halved cherries
4 ounces soft goats cheese
1/2 cup toasted almonds

METHOD:

Put all the dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake it all together (I clean out old nut butter and jam jars to store condiments). Set aside.

Mix the lentils, oil, vinegar, parsley, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and pepper together and stir to mix. This can be done a day or two in advance and kept covered in the fridge.

Toss the greens and cherries in desired amount of dressing. Top with a scoop of the lentils, goat cheese and almonds.
