Our in-house chef Denise Phillips cooks up her latest delicious treat, with a holiday twist!
This is a useful vegetarian salad that goes with anything – perfect if you’re having a Lag B’Omer barbecue.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the potatoes on the baking tray and coat with the olive oil and salt and roast for 40 minutes, or until golden.
- To make the dressing, add the dill and herbs to a small bowl or jar. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- To assemble the salad, place the hot potatoes in a large bowl with the lentils, spinach, kale, tomatoes, peas and olives. Pour the dressing over the top and stir until the potatoes are fully coated and the spinach is wilted.
