Now, I know this soup might not be the prettiest, but I can guarantee it is much better to eat than it is to look at! It’s a deliciously hearty soup that is a complete meal in itself, and is perfect to stash away in the freezer for those cold, dreary winter nights when all you want to do is curl up with a bowl of soup and avoid the world outside. Luckily, this makes quite a lot of soup, so you should be able to eat some now, and pop some in the freezer for later!
With the crazy hot weather we had in Melbourne over the summer, being able to have hearty salads for dinner with some grilled tofu or haloumi became a must. Even spending too much time over the stove was too much, let alone turning on the oven! That’s where this salad came to the fore and it didn’t disappoint! The lentils provide bulk and protein and the fresh, crisp vegetables are deliciously refreshing. I kept it simple with some lemon juice and oil as the dressing, it really doesn’t need any more than that!
