Ingredients

Lentil Bowls

  • 1 lb, 2 oz cooked green or Puy lentils
  • 1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 7 oz cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely diced
  • 3 12 oz fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 12 oz fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 34 oz fresh mint, chopped
  • Seeds from 1 pomegranate or 9 oz ready-prepared seeds
  • 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp miso paste
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 14 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Put cooked lentils in a large serving bowl. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, parsley, mint, pomegranate, and feta. Toss together to combine.
  2. Mix together dressing ingredients in a small jug or bowl. Pour over lentil salad and toss together. Serve.

Notes

  • Miso is a fermented soybean paste. It’s typically found in the refrigerated section. Look for gluten-free versions if you wish to keep this recipe free of gluten. The miso paste gives a lovely extra umami hit.
  • There’s no cooking involved—more of a gathering of ingredients—so it’s really quick to put together.
