Roasted rhubarb, feta and lentil salad recipe

Roasted rhubarb, feta and lentil salad

Created by The Tesco Recipes team

The salty tang of feta is a classic addition to a lentil salad, but here we've taken it up a notch, with bright and zingy rhubarb. Roasting this fabulous fruit brings out its natural sweetness, balancing beautifully with the mild earthy flavour of lentils and salty feta. This makes a lovely lunch or light, speedy dinner that tastes as good as it looks!

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Add the rhubarb to a roasting dish with 1 tbsp oil, the honey and the orange zest and juice. Roast for 15 mins, then gently stir in the lentils and beans to soak up the juices and warm through.
  2. Carefully mix in the spinach, avocado, chives and half the feta. Divide among plates and top with the remaining feta. Whisk the vinegar with the mustard and remaining oil, then drizzle over the salad, finishing with a scattering of toasted seeds.
  • Tip: Pair with oily fish like salmon, mackerel or trout.
