Ingredients
For the salad:
- 2 fennel trimmed and cut into ½ inch wedges (save the fronds for garnish, medium-sized bulbs
- 4 beets peeled and cut into ½ inch chunks, medium-sized, purple
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 cup French green lentils rinsed and picked over
- 2 tablespoons fennel fronds
- 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped
For the sauce:
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ½ tablespoons tahini
- ½ teaspoon honey
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup dill finely chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Toss the fennel and beets with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.

- To serve, divide the lentils between 4 plates and top with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle with the sauce and garnish each plate with fennel fronds, parsley and dill. Season with additional salt and pepper.
