Ingredients
- 15 oz. canned lentils*
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chives
- 3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse and drain lentils. Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes. Slice chives. Place in a medium bowl.
- Add vinegar and salt to salad. Toss to combine. Taste and add a splash more vinegar if desired.
- You can serve this dish immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container to let the flavors further develop. I find it keeps for about 3-4 days in the fridge.
Notes
- *Lentils: If you cook your lentils from scratch, you'll need about 1.5 cups cooked lentils.
- Tomatoes: One pint tomatoes equals about 1.5 cups halved. You can also substitute grape tomatoes.
- Other additions: Expand this salad with fresh herbs, cucumber, Kalamata olives, capers, roasted red pepper, chopped greens (like arugula, spinach, or kale), or vegan feta cheese.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 3 cups salad.
