They\u2019re ridiculously healthy, are so easy to cook, and they taste great. They bring a subtly nuttiness to a dish, and act as a great way to add volume and robustness to a dish. Making them absolutely perfect to use as a base for this wonderful Tomato and Lentil Salad with Basil and Goats Cheese. Oh, did we also mention they have a phenomenal texture? Yep! When cooked just right, the Lentils have a slight chewiness which is so pleasant to eat. This recipe is an awesome way to showcase the amazing qualities of Lentils<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"#jump-here\">Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We stumbled across this recipe when looking at items in our pantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps like many of you, we\u2019ve got a pantry filled with food items that are half full. We\u2019ve used the ingredients a couple of times for recipes, and then they will sit in the pantry for a while. We\u2019re going through a process of \u2018eating our pantry\u2019, which is a great thing to do, and we highly recommend it to you all!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, instead of leaving items for too long in the pantry and throwing them out (which we\u2019ve historically been very bad at), we base our cooking around what we\u2019ve got left in the pantry. It\u2019s actually a really great way to get inspired on what to cook when there are seemingly so many options available. Sometimes limiting your inspiration to an ingredient helps to crystalize what dinner is going to look like<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lentil Salad with Tomatoes\" class=\"wp-image-4643\" style=\"width:710px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-1-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is a fantastic dish to make using any leftover Lentils you may have hiding away in the pantry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7869471218\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It just so happened we had leftover Lentils in the pantry from cooking this <a href=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/index.php\/dinner\/vegetarian-dinner\/roast-vegetable-lentil-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roast Vegetable Lentil Salad<\/a> (which we highly recommend trying!), so it formed the base of this dish. Given it\u2019s warm out, it made sense to make a light, refreshing salad with the Lentils, and this Tomato and Lentil Salad came out perfect!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This is an easy dish to make. There are a few techniques involved however<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to preface this section by ensuring you all this dish is so easy to make. There are techniques involved in making the Lentils, as well as a quick pickling technique used for the Onion. Both of these are important elements of the dish. Getting them right will ensure the best flavor and texture in the salad. However, don\u2019t fret! The techniques are super easy and only take minutes. It\u2019s still a very simple salad to make!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this Tomato and Lentil Salad will take about 20 minutes from start to finish. Most of that time involves waiting for the Lentils to cook. You can prepare the remaining ingredients once you\u2019ve put the Lentils on the stovetop to cook, which is the first technique<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lentils are cooked in a similar way to Rice. That is, add to boiling water in a saucepan over low, just simmering heat. The main difference between Rice and Lentil cooking however is that the Lentils don\u2019t absorb the water like rice does. They are simply cooked and tenderized with the hot water<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good thing, because unlike Rice, the quality of the cooked Lentils will have nothing to do with how much, or how little water you add. Just add enough water to the pot so that the Lentils are covered and that\u2019s all you need to worry about. Lentils take about 15 \u2013 20 minutes to cook completely through. Once cooked they will be tender to eat, but still have a slight resistance and lovely chew to them<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tomato and Lentil Salad easy\" class=\"wp-image-4646\" style=\"width:790px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tomato-and-Lentil-Salad-4.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This delicious Tomato and Lentil Salad is so easy to make.

For others (myself included), their raw taste is quite harsh and needs a little mellowing. The best way to do so is to pickle them. Pickling involves adding a acidic element to the Onions which will draw out some of their bitterness and harsh flavor. Most common forms of pickling involve using Vinegar, or Lemon Juice<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Tomato and Lentil Salad we will be using Apple Cider Vinegar for the pickling. Simply slice the Onion into thin, long strips and place into a small bowl filled with 3 tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar. You can do this once you\u2019ve got your Lentils cooking, as it only takes about a minute<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your Lentils are done, the Onions will have had a quick pickle. They will still be raw, but the 15 \u2013 20 minutes in the Vinegar will have removed a lot of the harshness to the Onions, making them much more pleasant to eat<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We\u2019ve used Cherry Tomatoes in this recipe, but feel free to use whatever you prefer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry Tomatoes are always a great choice for Salads, and you\u2019ll notice we use them quite a lot in our <a href=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/index.php\/category\/dinner\/salad-dinner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salads<\/a> here at Dinnertime Somewhere.
