This vibrant lentil salad with tomato and dill is an excellent choice for a nutritious vegan lunch or a refreshing side dish. By using small French style lentils, the salad maintains a pleasing bite that contrasts beautifully with the juicy, ripened tomatoes and the sharp kick of red-wine vinegar. The addition of fresh dill and basil brings an aromatic brightness to the earthy pulse base, making it a sophisticated yet simple dish to prepare during the warmer months.
High in plant-based protein and fibre, this heart-healthy salad is as practical as it is delicious. It can be enjoyed immediately while the lentils are slightly warm and have absorbed the herb-infused dressing, or chilled in the fridge to allow the flavours to develop further. Serve it alongside crusty sourdough bread or as part of a larger Mediterranean-style spread for a wholesome, homemade meal.
