Healthy, hearty and easy to throw together. This roasted carrot lentil salad makes the perfect plant-based (100% vegan) meal. Carrots are roasted in the oven with cayenne pepper (for a little spiciness) together with cumin and a pinch of cinnamon. Then, they are served over a bed of spinach and French green lentils and drizzled with my go-to lemon-tahini dressing. Pomegranate seeds add a pop of color and sweet-tart freshness. All in all a super nutritious salad \u2014 and tasty to boot!<\/p>\n

Choosing lentils for this recipe<\/h2>\n

For this recipe, you\u2019ll want to use French green lentils (as known as le Puy lentils). These are my favourite lentils for soups and salads, as they hold their shape really well once cooked. The smaller black beluga lentils also are a great choice. When making this dish, it\u2019s important to cook the lentils just right. I usually check them a couple times for doneness as they’re cooking; usually around the 20 minute mark. The lentils should hold their shape well, but also be tender \u2014 think al dente. <\/p>\n

This salad itself is very simple and the ingredients basic. Which is why simple spices and a flavourful dressing are important. Tahini tastes terrific with hearty greens (like kale, spinach and even cabbage). And this tahini dressing couldn\u2019t be easier to make! It is a simple combination of tahini paste (ground sesame seeds), lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper, and thinned with warm water. So easy!<\/p>\n
