Kale, pear, lentil and feta salad

In Quebec, it feels like winter is over. So it's a good time to bring out the salad recipes. Here, I propose a kale, pear, lentil and feta salad.

I like to add fruit to salads to add a little sweetness, as with the salad with apples and grapes. If you don't like sweet and salty, you can always use them.

Les ingrédients pour la salade de kale poire lentilles et feta:

• 3 kale leaves. If you don't have any, you can substitute Milan cabbage or rapini.
• 1 pear is important for this recipe, but you could leave it out. Or replace it with apples, but you'll lose the melt-in-the-mouth texture of the pear and some of the flavor.
• 1 small red onion, or shallot if needed.
• 100g maple walnuts, this time I used almonds and walnuts.
• ’1 conserve de 540 mL de lentille cuite‘1 conserve de 540 mL de lentille cuite
• 150 gr Cherry tomatoes
• 170 gr Feta cheese

The vinaigrette

I tried another vinaigrette for a change. But I think my classic vinaigrette will work just as well.

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup, honey may also work here.
• ¼ cup oil, I used grapeseed oil, but olive oil or rapeseed oil.
• salt and pepper to taste

This salad works equally well as a meal salad or starter. It's quite healthy and balanced, so it's a good choice for preparing for summer.

If you're vegan don't go away, you can replace the feta with a vegan feta faux-mage for a completely vegetarian recipe.
