Drain water and spread them out on a paper towel and gently pat dry to remove as much moisture as possible. Preheat oven to 325F. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toss gently with the spices and olive oil. Spread into an even layer and bake for 30-35 minutes, shaking the tray and tossing at the 20-minute mark. Remove from the oven when they are crispy and let cool. Next, prepare the dressing. Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Finally, remove the stems from the kale and chop them into small pieces. Add kale to a large salad bowl along with the rest of the salad ingredients. Add the crispy lentils. Pour the dressing on top, toss, and enjoy immediately!ā£ • #recipeoftheday #recipe #easyrecipe #saladrecipe #shorts • š š kalejunkie.com
