Ingredients
  

  • 0.667 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 bunch broccolini ends trimmed
  • 1 cup french lentils rinsed
  • 4 cups kale very finely shredded
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 cup dried cranberries
  • 5 spring onions finely sliced

Dressing

  • 0.333 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon juice squeezed

Instructions

  • To the same saucepan of boiling water, add the lentils and cook for about 12–15 minutes (check the packet instructions). Drain, run under cold water and set aside.

  • For the salad: Place the shredded kale and olive oil in a large bowl. Use your hands to massage the olive oil into the kale for a few minutes. Add the lentils, broccolini, cranberries, spring onion, chickpeas, feta and almonds. Season well, drizzle over the dressing and toss everything together.
