Gwyneth's making lentil salad...




Recipe : Lentil salad with creamy mustard dressing
From 'It's all Good' by Gwyneth Paltrow

1 cup lentils (Gwyneth specified du Puy, I used regular tinned brown)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp coarse grain mustard
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs, (I used fennel and basil)


Whisk together the mustards, lemon, vinegar, olive oil and a large pinch of salt until well mixed and creamy.
Place the lentils, tomatoes and onion in a bowl and pour over the dressing, mixing well again. Sprinkle with the herbs. That's it.
(Of course if you are using raw lentils you will need to cook them first, maybe even having to soak them overnight. Check the cooking instructions on the packet or find the information on the Internet).
