Fall Black Beluga Lentil Salad
As we creep further into November the weather is definitely getting colder. Usually this colder weather makes us think of chilis and soups, but this week we wanted to change it up and try a warm salad. This black lentil recipe with roasted veggies is a real hearty, healthy salad. We used beets and cauliflower, to showcase the seasons fresh produce and a honey mustard dressing to brighten up the flavor.
Black lentils have a mild flavor but hold their shape when cooked, making them the perfect for a salad. Their black color is also a thing of beauty, making any dish more elegant. While we loved this salad warm, we also enjoyed the next day for lunch right out of the fridge.

Dice cauliflower? BI have no idea how to accomplish that. Small florets had to do.
