How to make Arugula Lentil Salad
To enhance the scent, roast the cashews in a skillet over low heat for about three minutes. After that, place them in the salad dish.
Slice the onion, then cook it in olive oil over low heat for about 3 minutes.
Place the onion mixture in a large basin.
The dried tomatoes and jalapenos should be chopped in the meantime. Create large croutons out of the bread. When the bread is crunchy, add them to the skillet and fry for an additional 2 minutes. It should work with the oil from sun-dried tomatoes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the washed arugula to the bowl. Raisins are added.
Include the lentils as well. Add salt, pepper, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar for seasoning. Lastly, garnish with the croutons mixture.
