Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup puy lentils
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup green beans, trimmed and sliced in fourths
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
3 ounces feta, crumbled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup ham (diced)

Steps:

  • Place the lentils and bay leaf in a saucepan with water.
  • Bring to a boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  • Discard the bay leaf, drain the lentils, and leave them to cool.
  • While the lentils are cooking, chop the beans, carrot and celery.
  • Put them in a steamer for about 10 minutes or blanch them in boiling water for about 1 minute- they should be crisp, crunchy and bright in colour.
  • Toss all of the cooked ingredients, along with the cilantro, onion, ham and feta, in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Whisk together the oil and rice vinegar and dress the salad.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
