Warm Lentil Salad With Smoked Tofu [vegan] by The Flexitarian

Warm salads are the perfect transition from “soup weather” into Spring.

This vegan warm lentil salad with smoked tofu was inspired by the classic French dish ” Lentilles aux Lardons” (Lentils with Bacon).

This salad is high in iron and protein. You can serve it for lunch or dinner but it also makes a perfect buffet food.

Eat it warm but it is also delicious at room temperature.

Instructions
 

  • Place the vegetable broth and lentils in a pan. Cook for around 15 mins until the liquid has evaporated and the lentils are cooked but still have a bite (if the lentils take longer to cook add more liquid). When the lentils are cooked, drain any leftover liquid from the lentils and keep covered.
  • In the meantime heat some olive oil in a casserole dish. Gently fry together the onion and 2 crushed garlic cloves until soft while you cut the vegetables.
  • Peel the carrots and cut them into small dice. Chop the leek finely.
  • Add the cut vegetables in the casserole dish. Add the bay leaves and thyme and cook at medium heat until vegetables are soft. (Add more olive if necessary)
  • Once the vegetables are soft, add lentils and diced smoked tofu. Mix well.
  • Make the dressing in a separate bowl by mixing together mustard, 5 Tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar and 1 crushed garlic clove.
  • Add the dressing to the lentil salad along with the capers and finely chopped parsley leaves. Toss well. Season to taste.
  • Serve warm.
