Warm Balsamic Lentil & Walnut Salad

How to make it

1. 1

   First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   Toss the chopped carrots and sliced red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

3. 3

   While the vegetables roast, rinse your lentils well. Combine them with 3 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, roasted carrots, and red onion. Add the balsamic vinegar and the chopped walnuts. Stir gently to combine everything.

5. 5

   Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if you like. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, hearty meal!
