Beluga lentils create the heartiness of this salad with peppery rocket, roasted red onion and sweet honey like mulberries adding a wonderful harmony of flavours. A one bowl dressing of yoghurt, honey, tahini, cumin and optional lemon juice - brings the salad to life and creates an irresistible meal. Enjoy! Love Alex, Ballerina Bites.
