Cooking Steps

Pickle shallots
1
  • Peel, then thinly slice shallot.
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
  • Add shallots, lemon juice, honey, 3/4 tsp (1 1/2 tsp) garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water to a small pot.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until salt dissolves, 1-2 min.
  • Remove from heat. Transfer shallots, including pickling liquid, to a large bowl.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
  • Halve cucumber lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse lentils.
Marinate lentils
3
  • Add mustard, lemon zest and 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) oil to the bowl with shallots and pickling liquid. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Add lentils and cucumbers, then toss to combine.
Toast walnuts
4
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on walnuts so they don't burn.) 
  • Transfer to a plate.
Toast croutons
5
  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then ciabatta. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook croutons in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides, 3-5 min.
  • Transfer croutons to the plate with walnuts.
Finish and serve
6
  • Add croutons and arugula and spinach mix to the bowl with marinated lentils. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to combine.
  • Divide salad between plates. Top with goat cheese, parsley and toasted walnuts.
