This vegan lentil beet salad is colorful, hearty, and so nutrient-dense! A lovely salad on its own, and even better with (or on) a slice of toast.

Categories     main     Salad     side

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium or 3 large beets, trimmed and scrubbed
olive or avocado oil, for rubbing the beets
1 cup (200 g) dry lentils, picked over and soaked for 1 hour ((you can use French, brown, green, pardina, or beluga lentils))
A few handfuls torn baby arugula leaves
2 tablespoons snipped chives ((optional))
Fresh bread or toast, for serving
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons champagne, sherry, or red wine vinegar ((substitute lemon juice))
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 small, finely minced garlic clove ((optional))
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Rub all of the beets with a light coating of olive oil. Wrap each beet tightly in foil or parchment. Roast the beets for 45 minutes-1 hour, or until they're buttery tender when pierced with a knife. When the beets have cooled for about fifteen minutes, run them under cold water while you slip off their skins. The skins should come off easily. Chop the roasted, skinned beets into pieces that are about 1" (or a little smaller).
  • While the beets are roasting, bring a pot of water to boil. Drain the lentils of their soak water, then add them to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer the lentils for 25-30 minutes, or until they're tender but still hold their shape. Drain the lentils, taking care to remove as much cooking water as possible so that they're not watery when you add them to the salad.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
  • Add the prepared beets, lentils, and dressing to a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine. Add the baby arugula and chives, if using. Toss again, gently. Serve the lentil beet salad with your favorite toast or bread.

One 4-ounce log goat cheese
1 cup leftover lentils from Salmon with Lentils, recipe follows
1/4 pound slab or thick-cut bacon, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400. Toss the beets with 3 tablespoons olive oil in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season the nuts with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Cut the goat cheese into 4 even rounds. Press the cut sides in the nuts and set aside. Warm the lentils in the microwave or in a saucepan and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 10 minutes, and transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon. Add the shallot to the pan drippings and cook for 20 seconds. Remove from the heat; whisk in the vinegar and sugar.

  • Reserve about 1 cup lentils for another use. Stir the honey and lemon juice into the remaining lentils and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped chard. Place the wrapped salmon on top of the lentils, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the fish is just cooked through, 6 minutes.

LENTIL SALAD WITH BEETS AND BACON



Lentil Salad with Beets and Bacon image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 6-ounce piece slab bacon, rind removed
1 sprig thyme
1 bay leaf
8 black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 cup dried French green lentils
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 8-ounce package vacuum-sealed cooked beets, roughly chopped
Freshly ground pepper
2 small heads baby lettuce and/or frisee, torn into large pieces
1 Belgian endive, cut into large pieces
1 small shallot, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
8 to 10 fresh chives, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Chop about two-thirds of the bacon into 1/4-inch pieces; set aside. Wrap the thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and garlic in a piece of cheesecloth; tie closed with kitchen twine. Combine the cheesecloth bundle, the remaining slab bacon, the lentils and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the cheesecloth bundle and bacon; let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook the chopped bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
  • Make the dressing: Whisk the mustard and vinegar in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Toss the beets with about 1 tablespoon of the dressing in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the lettuce, endive, shallot, parsley, chives and the prepared lentils and bacon to the bowl with the dressing; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss. Top each serving with some beets.

BEET AND LENTIL SALAD WITH CHEDDAR



Beet and Lentil Salad With Cheddar image

This salad is a party of sweet, earthy and salty flavors. Store-bought, vacuum-packed beets are called for here, which are not only convenient, but have a mellow fruitiness and a tender texture that is ideal in salads. (If you have fresh beets, and have the time to roast them, you can use those instead.) Beets naturally pair well with sharp and tangy ingredients, and while goat cheese may be a more common accompaniment, crumbly aged Cheddar offsets the sweetness of the beets and the apple cider dressing (though any sharp Cheddar works). French green lentils offer a nutty, peppery, almost mineral-like flavor and are perfect for salads because they hold their shape well, though if you only have brown lentils, that's just fine. (They cook slightly faster, so adjust the cook time accordingly.) Finally, there's no shame in opting for canned lentils.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups French green lentils, rinsed
1 garlic clove, smashed
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups arugula leaves
1/2 cup soft herbs, such as dill, parsley, mint or cilantro, roughly chopped
1 (16-ounce) package cooked whole beets (or 1 pound roasted beets), cut into 1/2-inch wedges
4 ounces extra sharp Cheddar, roughly crumbled
1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 small garlic clove, grated
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad: In a medium pot, add the lentils, garlic and 4 cups water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until just tender. (The lentils should still have some bite). Drain in a colander and stir to break up and evenly distribute the garlic. Let the lentils cool slightly.
  • While the lentils cook, prepare the vinaigrette: In a large serving bowl, whisk the garlic, vinegar, oil, maple syrup and mustard with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Add the warm lentils to the serving bowl, then add the arugula, herbs and beets. Season with salt and black pepper and toss. Add the Cheddar and toss gently, but don't overdo it because you don't want the cheese to turn crimson from the beets. To serve, top with hazelnuts.
