Spring Lentil Salad with Radishes


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup black lentils
  • 2 bunches mixed radishes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 ounces ricotta salata, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Prepare the lentils according to package instructions, cooking them just tender, but so that they still retain their shape. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. While the lentils are cooking, toss the radishes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, salt and pepper and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-18 minutes, until the radishes are crisp-tender and bronzed. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together the lentils, roasted radishes, ricotta salata, mint, lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
