Lentil, bean and kale salad

20 May 2021
 
Ingredients:

100g/3½oz dried brown, green or red lentils (or use tinned)
100g/3½oz dried black-eyed or haricot beans
8 sun-dried 
tomatoes, roughly chopped
handful green or black 
olives from a jar, roughly chopped
handful fresh flatleaf 
parsley, torn (or other soft herb, such as mint)
80g/3oz 
kale, stalks removed and chopped (or other leafy greens, such as spinach or spring greens)
1 large 
garlic clove, crushed or grated
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (or 1 tsp 
chilli powder)
130ml/4½fl oz 
olive oil
lemon, zest and juice

Method:
 
Soak the lentils and beans overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Rinse the lentils and beans and put into a saucepan of cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes, removing any scum that comes to the surface. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse. (Skip this step if using tinned lentils, just warm them through in a saucepan with a splash of water.)
To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a lidded jar and shake vigorously until combined. Taste and adjust with more lemon, if needed. Put into a saucepan and warm over a low heat.
Toss the beans and lentils with the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle over the dressing to taste and serve.
