    A delicious warm salad for winter

    This coral lentil salad with cumin-roasted onion, chicken and carrots, as well as spinach, lemon confit and feta cheese, is a real treat!

    What's more, it only takes 5 minutes to prepare, and the rest of the recipe is just baking. You won't be disappointed!

    Hot salad in a bowl with a bowl of carrots, a bowl of vinaigrette and coriander.

    When do you eat carrots?

    From September to March included!

    What about spinach?

    From September to May included!

    Where can I find preserved lemons?

    Personally, I have a great producer who offers homemade ones at my market.

    But I've already seen them at the Franprix down the street. And I know that the Albert Ménès brand, distributed in many supermarkets, also makes them.

    Zoom in on the hot salad bowl.

    Storage

    This salad can be kept for 2 or 3 days in the fridge, provided it is well covered with aluminum foil, plastic film or bee-wrap. In short, let it be covered 🙂

    If you make this red lentil salad, it would be so nice to leave me a comment and rate the recipe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. You can also tag me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook or Tik Tok, or even send me a photo, I love seeing my little dishes in your homes!

    Total Time 25 minutes mins

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup red lentils
    • 1 cup chicken breast diced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 3 carrots
    • 2 handfuls baby spinach
    • ½ onion chopped

    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • In a large pot of boiling water, cook the red lentils for the required time (usually between ten to fifteen minutes).
    • Meanwhile, in a large skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, sauté the chopped onion, chicken breast (previously cut into coarse pieces), and the thinly sliced carrots with the ground cumin over medium-high heat for 15 minutes.
    • Add a lid and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
    • Once the lentils are cooked and drained, and the contents of the skillet are ready, you can proceed with assembling the dish.

Add the finely chopped preserved lemon, some cilantro leaves, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with a light stream of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy!
