Hearty Lentil Salad with Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette
Pan-seared chicken and earthy lentils tossed with crisp garden vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a vibrant, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Boneless skinless chicken breast
0.75 cup Cooked green lentils
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
2 tbsp Red onion
2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a portion of the sea salt and black pepper.
Pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through, then let it rest before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and dried oregano to create the vinaigrette.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, and finely minced red onion.
Add the diced chicken to the lentil and vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately or chill for later.
