Method

  • step 1

    Boil the lentils following pack instructions, drain, rinse well, then drain thoroughly.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, mix the citrus juices, vinegar and a pinch of salt in a salad bowl, then toss in the onion rings – after a few mins they will soften and turn pink. Whisk together the oil, cumin, garlic and chutney, then toss into the onions with the cooled lentils, coriander, tomatoes, spinach and plenty of seasoning.

Great recipe. I had leftover red lentils from the day before so just added the other ingredients. Delicious

We absolutely love this, so versatile and so tasty. I do tend to use Geeta premium chutney and whilst you spend a little bit more, it’s really worth the additional flavour. Brilliant.

Hi could I make this the day before ?

Hold back the spinach and coriander until just before serving.

question

Would aubergine chutney work with this recipe?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes aubergine chutney/pickle would go well on the side. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Could red lentils be used instead of green?

Hi, thanks for your question. Red lentils could be used but they don't hold their shape as well as green lentils and tend to have a softer, slightly mushier texture so the salad will look different and have a different texture. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
