Puy lentil salad with raita and mango salsa

High fibre & gut loving. 

This colourful and satisfying lentil salad is a simple, delicious, and refreshing meal that is perfect for summer. It's a wonderful mixture of complementing flavours and textures and packed with plant-based protein, gut loving fibre and probiotics from homemade yogurt.

Puy lentil salad with raita and mango salsa is the ideal, make ahead meal, that actually tastes even better once it has rested for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Make each component separately then pack in vacuum seal jars for work lunches, picnics in the park or serve it in individual bowls or on a large share plate for friends and family.

Each layer is quick and simple to make. The lentils can be prepared ahead of time. The raita pictured is made from L Reuteri yogurt but it's equally lovely made from plant-based yogurt. Find all of our homemade yogurts recipes here.

PUY LENTILS

Lentils are a nourishing base to a healthy meal. We used Puy lentils (also called French lentils) because they don’t need to be soaked and cook quickly. Unlike other lentils, Puy keep their shape after cooking, which makes them perfect for salads and meal prepping. These powerful little pulses have a wonderful earthy and unique peppery flavour that taste incredibly delicious teamed with cooling homemade yogurt raita and salsa.  

Makes: 2 jars but multiply the ingredients for more servings.:recipekit:
