Healthy Charred Beetroot and Lentil Salad

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.
