Type of lentils used for this lentil salad recipe<\/h2>\n

For this recipe, I used Beluga lentils, also referred to as black lentils, as they are a terrific choice for salads. Just like French green puy lentils, they hold their shape well after cooking, rather than breaking down like brown or red lentils. You\u2019ll recognise them by their small size and glossy caviar-like appearance. They have a delicious, delicate flavour with a mild earthy character. You can find them at your local organic food store or well-stocked supermarkets. Alternatively, you can use French green lentils (Puy lentils or lentilles du Puy) in their place. When cooked, they also have an al dente texture, as well as a peppery, earthy flavour.<\/p>\n
