LENTIL-Lentil, Apple and Radicchio Salad

By Unblond1

This salad is reminiscent of a Waldorf salad, but the addition of lentils moves it into the dinner category. Once the apple is sliced, add it directly to the dressing - the lemon juice will prevent it from turning brown.

Ingredients

• 1 shallot, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) lemon zest
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) lemon juice
• 3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
• Pinch pepper
