Indian cuisine is my favorite of all time. There are always plenty of plant-based dishes to choose from and I love how they turn vegetables and legumes into the most delicious dishes by adding colorful spices and herbs. This Green Lentil Salad with Spiced Carrots is based on a classic French dish but I changed a thing or two and infused it with Indian flavors. It makes a perfect light lunch or a tasty side dish.

How to Prepare Green Lentil Salad With Spiced Carrots [Vegan]

To Make the Spiced Carrots:
  1. Turn your carrots into long strips using a vegetable peeler or mandolin. Put them in a mixing bowl. You can choose to grate, shred or spiralize your carrots too, but I prefer a crunchier texture in this salad.
  2. Roughly chop the raisins and add them to the mixing bowl.
  3. Take a glass jar and add lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, garam masala, salt, and black pepper to taste. Close the lid and shake well.
  4. Add the dressing to the mixing bowl and stir well. Set aside so the carrots and raisins can soak up all the flavors.

To Make the Green Lentil Salad:

  1. Combine Romaine lettuce, baby spinach, green lentils, spring onion, parsley, mint, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the spiced carrots and stir well. Bon appétit!
