Cooking Instructions
This is a hearty, protein-packed salad! It has a great balance of textures—the soft lentils, the crunch of the water-chilled onions, and the smokiness of the ham
Smoked Ham & Lentil Salad
Serves: 2–3 | Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 25 min
Ingredients
Lentils: 1 cup dry lentils (rinsed)
Aromatics: 1 vegetable bouillon cube, 1 small onion
Protein: 2 eggs, 100g smoked ham
Fresh Produce: 1 head of lettuce, 2 medium tomatoes, ½ lemon
Pantry: 1 tsp mustard, 2 tbsp oil (sunflower or EVOO), salt to taste
Instructions
Simmer the Lentils: Combine lentils, water (double the volume of lentils), and the bouillon cube in a pot. Boil for ~25 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool.
Mellow the Onion: Slice the onion into thin strips. Soak them in a bowl of ice water while you prepare the rest; this removes the harsh "bite."
Hard-Boil the Eggs: Boil eggs for 10 minutes. Shock them in cold water for 5 minutes, then peel and dice.
Chop & Prep: Wash and bite-size the lettuce. Dice the tomatoes and chop the smoked ham into small cubes.
Whisk the Dressing: In a ramekin, emulsify the lemon juice, mustard, and oil.
Assemble: Drain the onions and squeeze dry. In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, lentils, eggs, tomatoes, onions, and ham. Pour the dressing over the top, season with salt, and fold gently.
