Description

I was looking for something different to do with lentils and came up with this warm salad. It is loaded with veggies and has a tartness to it that complements the lentils nicely.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅓ cup chopped red onion
  • 8 baby carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup brown or green lentils
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions
  1. 1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add 1 tablespoon oil and let heat for 1 minute. Stir in onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Cancel Saute function.
  2. 2. Mix in broth, lentils, wine, oregano, and thyme; stir to combine. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  3. 3. Meanwhile, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard for the vinaigrette in a small bowl.
  4. 4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in vinaigrette.
