Healthy, delicious and beautiful are the first three words I would use to describe this Charred Beetroot and Lentil Salad. I personally love beetroot in a salad, with its vibrant red colors and juicy texture, grilled on a grill pan until perfectly charred, they’re my favorite. I add fennel seeds, black lentils, crème fraîche, balsamic, walnuts, shallots, dill and finely chopped parsley. Loaded with protein and healthy fats, I think you’re going to really enjoy this beautiful and nutritious salad idea.
To make Charred Beetroot and Lentil Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 355 °F and heat a grill to high heat.
In a bowl, drizzle the beetroot wedges with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with some salt and pepper. Gently toss to lightly coat.
Place on the grill for 2 minutes per side until charred. Transfer to a baking tray.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds over the charred beetroot and pour ¼ cup of water on. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes or until just softening.
In a large pot, place 150 g of rinsed, black lentils and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and cook on low for about 20-25 minutes or until just softened. Drain from the water and lightly season with a pinch of salt.
In a large bowl combine 4 tablespoons of crème fraîche, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, and some salt and pepper.
To serve, add the cooked lentils and charred beets to the crème fraîche dressing. Top with walnuts and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
