Lentil Salad with Tuna
· 4 servings
Cook the eggs and lentils
Hard-boil the eggs. Cook both types of lentils until tender – ideally without letting them overcook and turn mushy. Cook them in salted water. I started with the brown lentils first, and once they were almost tender, I added the red lentils.
Chop the eggs
Chop the eggs into pieces. Drain the lentils and let them cool.
Gently mix in and add the tuna
Gently combine the eggs and lentils in a bowl. Why gently? So the cooked lentils don't turn into mush. Add the tuna along with its oil.
Garlic and spring onion
Add the crushed garlic. It's best to also stir in some finely chopped spring onion.
Season to taste
Add a spoonful of mustard and some yogurt. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Garnish with fresh parsley.
