Delicious lentil salad with bacon and salmon, perfect hot or cold.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup lentils, rinsed
  • 1 cup water, or as needed to cover
  • 1 salmon fillet
  • 1 slice Black Forest-style bacon
  • 0.25 red onion, diced
  • 5 small fresh mozzarella balls (boccaccini), cut into quarters
  • 0.25 cup diced cucumber, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions:
  • Place lentils in a small pot covering with water; simmer on medium heat until tender, 10-15 minutes. Let lentils cool.
  • Position the oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
  • Broil salmon until easily flaked with a fork, about 5-7 minutes per side. Allow the salmon to cool, then chop and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, crisp the bacon for 7 to 10 minutes. Chop and allow it to cool.
  • Combine the cooled lentils, salmon, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and cucumber in a large bowl.
  • Combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, whisk until well blended. Drizzle the mixture over the lentils and gently stir to coat evenly.
