Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup lentils, rinsed
1 cup water, or as needed to cover
1 salmon fillet
1 slice Black Forest-style bacon
¼ red onion, diced
5 small fresh mozzarella balls (boccaccini), cut into quarters
¼ cup diced cucumber, or to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put lentils in a small pot with enough water to just cover; cook on medium heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Set lentils aside to cool.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Cook salmon under the preheated broiler until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Chop salmon and set aside to cool.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat; cook bacon in skillet until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Chop bacon and set aside to cool.
  • Mix cooled lentils, salmon, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and cucumber together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; drizzle over the lentil mixture and stir gently to coat.

This salad was a great way to use up some leftover salmon. It was easy to make and very delicious. The lentils were tender and flavorful and the dressing was very good. I will definitely be making this salad again.
