Potato Lentil Salad


This unusual salad has a real kick from the cayenne, but that can be toned down if you wish simply by using less. To take to a picnic or potluck, double the recipe.

Steps


In a medium-sized saucepan , stir together lentils and water.
Bring to a boil , then reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until lentils are tender.
Pour into a colander and let lentils cool.
Meanwhile , in another saucepan , cover potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes , or just until potatoes are tender.
Drain and rinse with cold water.
When cool enough to handle , peel if you wish and cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl , whisk together the oil , vinegar , seeds , yogurt and cayenne.
Taste and add salt and / or black pepper if you wish.
In a large serving bowl , combine lentils , potato cubes and green onion slices.
Gently stir in dressing.
Garnish salad with egg and sprouts.
