Our\u00a0beloved Chef Carolina Doriti, is cooking a very nutritious and impressive salad with Beluga lentils and Wise Greece\u00a0products<\/a>, for our new\u00a0Wise Home Cooking series<\/a>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
\n<\/strong>250gr Black lentils
\n1 bay leaf
\n200gr teardrop tomatoes, diced
\n1 green pepper, diced
\n1 small (Lebanese) cucumber, diced
\n6 tbsp chopped parsley (or a mix of parsley and mint)
\n2-3 tbsp chopped red onion
\n1 carrot, grated
\n3-4 small red radishes, diced
\n2 tbsp capers
\n120gr bulgur (cracked wheat)
\n120gr tuna in a jar, cut into bite-sized chunks
\n10-12\u00a0Kalamata olives with lemon and thyme by Green&Blu for Wise Greece<\/a>
\nSea salt<\/p>\n

For the dressing:
\n1 \u00bd-2 tsp\u00a0Oriental Salt Wise Greece Exclusive<\/a>
\n100 ml lemon juice + 1 unwaxed lemon
\n70ml extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n

Cooking instructions:
\n<\/strong>Soak the bulgur in very hot water until it absorbs all the water and is soft enough but still chewy (about 20 mins). Once ready stir with a fork and set aside.
\nRinse the lentils and boil in fresh water along with a bay leaf and salt for 20 minutes until softened. Rinse, drain and set aside.
\nPrepare all the rest of the salad ingredients and put in a bowl along with the wheat and the lentils (that have cooled down).
\nPrepare the dressing in a separate smaller bowl. Whisk the oriental salt with the lemon juice and zest. Start adding in the olive oil while whisking vigorously.
\nPour it into the salad and mix well.
\nThis salad can be made from the night before and stored in the fridge. It is an ideal, healthy and nutritious meal for an office lunchbox.<\/p>\n
