I often eat this in summer, when I come back from the beach or as an accompaniment to some fresh dairy product.
A very fast and easy to prepare recipe. It is both healthy and fresh.
Mom's Lentil Salad
- Preparation time: 60 minutes
- Ingredients for 6 servings
- Difficulty: Easy recipe
- Ingredients
- 1 lb. 2 oz (500 grams) of Onano lentils
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 sticks of white celery
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Instructions
- Soak the lentils in cold water for half an hour.
- Place them in a pot, in plenty of cold water, with half an onion and a celery stalk. Bring to a boil and let simmer for an hour. Drain the lentils.
- Wash and dry the celery. Discard the larger leaves, the white stem part, and the filaments. Cut it into small slices.
- In a large bowl, season the lentils and the celery with oil, salt, and pepper.
Tips to ensure the success of the dish:
- Choose small lentils such as those of Onano or Castelluccio.
- The lentils should be boiled in a little water. The more water you put in the pot, the higher the risk that the lentils will mash.
