Roast beetroot and butternut salad with puy lentils and…

This salad is the perfect combination of sweet and savory, a lovely light Saturday lunch or side dish to something more substantial. We love lentils in a warm salad, their neutral earthiness goes well with fresh salady stuff and makes a lovely base flavour to build on.

The rose water adds an exciting middle eastern dimension, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the beetroot.

This is great as is for a light lunch, but feel free to beef it up with a poached egg or some chicken strips to make a more complete meal.
