Ingredients

200 g lentils (small, green or brown)
broth
3 scallions
cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
some lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper (from the mill)
optional mustard

Instructions

1. Cook the lentils in the broth for about 30 minutes. You can soak them overnight, but this is usually not necessary. Do not use red lentils as they become too mushy. The broth adds flavor and prevents the lentils from staying hard despite the salt.
2. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and slice the spring onions into thin rings.
3. Whisk the vinaigrette (a sauce made from oil, vinegar, and spices) with the remaining ingredients. Mix the drained, cooked, and slightly cooled lentils with the tomatoes, onions, and sauce.
4. The salad tastes good lukewarm or cold with meat and quickly pan-fried fish fillets, or on its own. You can prepare it well one day before a party.
