Lentil Salad with Summer Vegetables
Sautéed chicken breast tossed with earthy lentils and crisp summer vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette that offers a refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked green lentils
0.5 cup English cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of the sea salt and black pepper.
Grill or sauté the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, then set aside to rest for 5 minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Dice the cucumber into small cubes and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Add the cooked lentils, cucumber, tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Toss the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the lentils and vegetables are well coated.
Add the diced chicken to the salad, toss gently once more, and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
