Ingredients

  • pieces Spices, bay (leaves)

  • 2 piece Tomato, red

  • 1.5 handful Olives, black, in brine

  • 0.25 bouquet Parsley, fresh

  • 2.5 spoons Oil, olive

Steps

  1. Sort through the lentils, rinse them under running water, and drain well. Place them in a suitably sized pot, adding a bay leaf. Pour in enough water to fully cover the lentils and place the pot on the stove. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the lentils gently for 15 to 20 minutes until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain the cooked lentils in a colander and let them cool.

  2. While the lentils are cooling, prepare the other ingredients. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into quarters, removing the seeds if desired. Then chop the quarters into pieces. Rinse the parsley under running water, shake it dry, and roughly chop it. Clean, wash, and dry the salad leaves.

  3. Peel the garlic and mash it with a pinch of salt into a paste, then mix it with the yogurt and half of the lemon juice.

  4. In a large bowl, combine the olives, cooled lentils, two-thirds of the chopped parsley, and the diced tomatoes. Season the salad to taste with the remaining lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

  5. Place a few salad leaves on plates or bowls, then top with the salad. Drizzle with the prepared dressing, sprinkle with the reserved parsley, and serve.
