This salad brings Canada’s maple syrup together with green lentils. Lentils are quickly pressure-cooked, then tossed with smoked salmon and a spiced dressing. Its sweet-and-sour balance and smoky salmon make it a satisfying snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Pressure-cook the lentils

8 min

Put the green lentils and water in the pressure cooker and close the lid. Once the cooker whistles, reduce the heat and cook for 8 minutes.

2

Let the pressure release

10 min

Turn off the heat and leave the pressure cooker closed to rest in its own steam for 10 minutes. Then open the lid and drain the lentils.

3

Cool the lentils

40 min

Spread the drained lentils on a wide plate and leave them until they reach room temperature; hot lentils will wilt the arugula.

4

Make the dressing

5 min

Whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, cumin and Turkish red pepper flakes.

5

Toss and serve

7 min

Add the arugula, thinly sliced red onion and smoked salmon to the cooled lentils. Toss with the dressing.

Reminder

Wait until the lentils have cooled completely before mixing them with the arugula, or the heat will wilt the leaves. Allergen: contains fish (salmon).
