Ingredients
Method
- Warm lentils in a saucepan with 2 tbsp water for 5 minutes, then drain any excess.
- Whisk oil, mustard, vinegar and maple syrup in a serving bowl.
- Fold warm lentils into dressing, add apple, celery and walnuts and toss gently.
A little note
Keep the apple raw for contrast with the warm lentils.
Cooking tips
- Drain warmed lentils before adding them to the mustard dressing.
- Cut apple just before assembling and toss promptly with dressing to limit browning.
Ingredient swaps
Use cooked green or brown lentils that hold their shape; split red lentils are too soft for this salad.
