Lentil salad

This is THE barbecue side dish of 2019. A new favorite was born. Instead of steamed vegetables and the typical wedges fresh out from the oven, there is finally a newly discovered recipe that tastes excellently with grilled meat. Mung lentils, have you ever heard of it? These kind of lentils are especially used in ayurvedic cuisine. Today, I have combined them with raw vegetables, courgettes and rocket sprouts. A simple dressing of olive oil and pear balsamic vinegar or alternatively other white balsamic vinegar makes the salad really fresh. Great, isn’t it?
