Puy Lentil Salad with Soy Beans, Sugar Snap Peas & Broccoli

DB enjoyed this salad very much! He had a few minor points of critique, such as that the ginger wasn’t strong enough (I might not have added the whole amount because I thought it would be too much “ it’s not, go for it!), and that it tasted slightly watery “ try to let the veggies dry as much as possible.

We were both surprised that the combination of lentils and the other veggies worked so well with this Asian-inspired dressing of garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil, but it did, especially with the lentils and the sugar snaps. We substituted the soy beans for broad beans which worked very well.

I had my difficulties with getting the timing right for cooking the veggies “ if you’re unsure about, cook them separately, much of the success of this salad will depend on whether the veggies are still crisp and al dente.
