Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups water
1 ½ cups dry lentils
1 bouquet garni
10 ounces smoked salmon, or more to taste
½ large red onion, minced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine water, lentils, and bouquet garni in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender but still firm and there is only a little excess cooking liquid in the pan, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let lentils cool in the pan. Discard bouquet garni.
  • Cut salmon into small strips, no longer than 1/2 inch long. Place in a large bowl with onion and chives. Add cooled lentils.
  • Whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Add to the lentil mixture and stir until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate until flavors have blended, 2 to 3 hours.

I'm allergic to lentils. Can I substitute another type of bean?

This salad is a bit too salty for my taste.
