Tested size: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup (6 1/2 ounces) black beluga lentils

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 2 medium bulbs kohlrabi or broccoli stems from one head of broccoli, tough skins removed, cut in to thin matchsticks (about 1 cup)

• 1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

• 2 tablespoons very finely chopped shallot

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot.

Meanwhile, rinse the lentils and sort through them to remove any stones that may be present. Stir the lentils into the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until they are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 1 hour.

Once the lentils are cool, in a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine the lentils with the kohlrabi, tomatoes, parsley, shallot and tarragon. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
