Preparation
Chef’s notes
Don’t overcook the lentils. You want to cook the lentils until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite, since overcooking can lead to a mushy texture.
Add avocado just before serving. If you’re planning to make and refrigerate this salad in advance (or save some for leftovers), we recommend just adding a few slices of avocado on top versus mixing them into the salad in order to avoid browning.
Be sure to season. Don’t forget to give the salad a taste and season with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
