  • Warm Puy Lentil Salad with Beetroot and Hazelnuts

    December 28, 2015 / Niki / 5 Comments

    Are you feeling like you’ve over indulged over Christmas? I feel like I have been for been for weeks! Parties, meals, not so much time for exercising and more wine…unavoidable and fun but I’m looking forward to focusing on healthy meals and new fitness goals in January.  

    We’re still in beautiful Spain and it can be a little hard to get all my usual ingredients in the local shops (tahini where are you?); although the local Carrefour we go to has more organic produce every time we come back over which is great!

    I decided to make this super nourishing warm puy lentil salad with beetroot, hazelnuts, pomegranate and lots of mint to counter some of the rich Christmas food. The ginger and organic apple cider vinegar in the dressing have cleansing properties and complements the earthiness of the lentils end beetroot perfectly and I love the deliciously sweet and savoury contrasting flavours here.  

    We’re off to Bacrcelona in the couple of days and I can’t wait to visit all my favourite restaurants! I’m going to try and finally finish off my healthy Barca restaurant guide as well.  

    Here’s to a healthy 2016!
