Warm Mediterranean Lentil Salad

Course: Main - Dish: - Serves: 4

A lovely summery dish packed with protein using lentils and dressed canned salmon and perfect for a lighter but hearty salad. 

By Theo Michaels as part of the Protein Packed Cans series.

Method:

  1. Add the can of salmon to a bowl, season, add chilli flakes, few pinches of parsley, squeeze of lemon and mix together gently and reserve.  
  2. In a separate bowl add the lentils and mixed bean salad with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning and microwave for 1 minute (you can omit the warming but I like it!). Once out of the microwave, fold through the mixed leaf salad so it wilts slightly and finish with the remaining parsley and balsamic vinegar. 
  3. Decant the mixed salad into bowls and portion out the dressed salmon on top.
