Instructions: Warm lentil salad with roasted vegetables
Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
Cook the lentils in a pan with a few cups of water, a pinch of salt, bay leaf and a clove of garlic following the instructions on the box. Drain, add half a tablespoon of olive oil, stir and set aside.
While you cook your lentils prepare carrots and daikon. Divide them both in smaller pieces or dice your radish if it is too big. Cover your vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place on a baking sheet together with unpeeled garlic.
Bake your carrots and daikon in the oven until they are tender and lightly browned for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Mix lemon juice with mustard and honey. Add a pinch of salt and as soon as the garlic is ready, squeeze it (it should be very soft) into the sauce. Stir well.
Combine vegetables and lentils. Add prepared sauce and pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.
