Directions

  1. Rinse the coral lentils under cold water, let them soak for a short time, then cook them. The cooking time indicated on the package is too long for a salad. Dice the beets and finely chop the onion. Prepare the dressing separately.
  2. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients, ensuring the honey is fully dissolved. Pour over the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours, stirring occasionally. Add the herbs just before serving.
