Lentil, Beetroot and Hazelnut Salad With a Ginger Dressing

This vibrant Puy lentil, beetroot and hazelnut salad is a wonderful celebration of texture and earthy flavours. Perfectly suited for a nutritious vegan lunch or a sophisticated side dish, it combines protein-rich pulses with the natural sweetness of cooked beetroot. The addition of hazelnuts provides a satisfying crunch, while a generous handful of fresh mint and parsley ensures every bite feels light and fragrant.

The secret to this recipe is the zingy ginger dressing, which cuts through the richness of the lentils with a refreshing, peppery heat. This salad is an excellent choice for healthy meal prep, as the flavours develop beautifully if left to marinate for a short while before eating. Enjoy it as a standalone meal or serve it as a colourful accompaniment to roasted vegetables.
