  • Yield Makes 2

Ingredients

    • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 red onion, finely diced
    • 1 carrot, finely diced
    • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
    • 1 cup French green lentils, rinsed
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
    • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1/2 cup toasted almonds, roughly chopped (optional)
    • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
    • 1 cup torn fresh herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, basil, and/or mint

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 Tbsp oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add lentils and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining oil, lemon juice, and pepper flakes. Season with salt. Add lentils, almonds (if using), cabbage, and herbs and toss to combine.

Cook's Note

Refrigerate lentil salad in an airtight container up to 3 days.
