This spiced lentil salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
Rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
Rinsing removes any debris and helps ensure the lentils cook evenly.
Place the lentils in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Check the lentils for doneness by tasting; they should be tender but not mushy.
Drain the cooked lentils and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Set aside.
Cooling the lentils prevents them from overcooking and helps maintain their texture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, and all the spices to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
In a serving bowl, combine the lentils with the dressing, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the lentils.
Add the chopped red onion, raisins, currants, and capers to the lentil mixture and stir to combine.
For extra flavor, let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a vibrant touch.
