Kale and Beluga Lentil Salad with Orange Miso Dressing Recipe

Serves 4 – as a side

Ingredients:

½ cup black beluga lentils, soaked for 12 hours, drained and rinsed

4 large kale leaves, stalks removed

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ lemon, juice

10 brussels sprouts, shredded thinly

½ cup roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped

Orange Miso Dressing

1 large orange, juice only (approximately ⅓ cup juice)

½ lemon, juice only

1 tbsp miso

1 tsp honey

1 tbsp rice vinegar

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp finely grated ginger root

Method:

Place lentils in a saucepan. Cover with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes until tender. Drain through a sieve and season. Set aside to cool. Remove the stalks from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Place in a large bowl and add the oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Massage the leaves with fingers for several minutes to soften the leaves. Spread on a large salad platter. Scatter over the brussels sprouts. Top with the cool lentils and garnish with hazelnuts.

To make the Orange Miso Dressing, place the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well.

Drizzle over salad and serve.
