How to make our Kale and Beluga Lentil Salad with Orange Miso Dressing Recipe
1. 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.
2. 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.
