A hearty vegan and gluten-free lentil avocado salad flavoured with lemon, macadamia nut oil, cream of balsamic and fresh herb. It is an easy and quick to make recipe that is healthy yet so rich and satisfying.
Avocado Red Lentil Salad with Macadamia Oil and Cream of Balsamic
adapted from Küchen Götter
|
- Place the vegetable broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add in red lentils and cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake out all excess water.
- Meanwhile slice the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Cut the avocado halves in slices and remove the skin. Arrange them on a serving plate.
- Add lemon juice to the drained red lentils and season with salt and pepper. Now spoon the red lentils over the avocado slices. Sprinkle some chopped parsley leaves over. Drizzle with macadamia oil and cream of balsamic. Garnish with peperoncini and serve immediately.

Angie I can't wait to give this a try. I love red lentils (they are my favourite), but I usually only use them for making dahl. I've only ever used green or brown ones in a salad, but I'll be giving this a try very soon. It looks so much prettier than the green or brown ones too :-)
The dressing sounds incredible, I have to find some macadamia oil to try! Beautiful salad, Angie!
looks so perfect.. First time I see red lentil in salad.. Protein rich salad! love it
A beautiful and wholesome salad! Perfect.
Cheers,
Rosa
This salad looks delicious! I have never tried using macadamia oil..
What a lovely salad! it would make a perfect full meal for me.
Healthy salad
Gorgeous salad with the orange red from the lentils and the pale green of the avocado. I must find some red lentils.

Such a gorgeous salad! I know I'd love the combination of lentils and creamy avocados!
I adore lentiIs; I was always using French (or gray) lentils for salads by now; have to try red-ones for this purpose. Your salad sounds delish and complete!

That is easy! And right up my healthy-low-carb loving alley! Just in time - the weather has turned chilly and our leafy salads do not fit the bill. Love how it is dressed.

I find it hard to cope with salads as the cooler weather sets in, Angie, but this one I am bookmarking for regular consumption over the colder months. It manages to be light and substantial all in one.
nice and healthy, need to change my diet to this if not waist will keep expanding :P
ça a l'air délicieux jolie salade

Loving the lentil avocado combination, never tried it. And the macadamia nut oil sounds really interesting. A nice salad for fall indeed.
I love the lentils and avocado combination, I would never have thought about putting them together, but your photo and recipe sound delicious!
The colors in this salad are just too pretty Angie! Wow, who could resist this?
I am learning about new ingredients from your posts, today it is cream of balsamic, now I must go looking for it.
I've never thought of combining lentils and avocado, but I bet the combo is great.
Simple but gorgeous dish! I love lentil. Amazing photos!
This i such a nice salad Angie...pretty and so healthy...I am loving it!
Have a wonderful week ahead :D
I've never thought about pairing lentils with avocado...and why not?...especially the red lentils. Such a pretty contrast of color and texture. I love lentils and your lentil salad is so vibrant, fresh, and so delicious, Angie! I would love to have this for lunch, anytime!
I love red lentils Angie!
This salad look georgeous!

This is such a pretty salad, Angie! I love red lentils! It sounds fantastic with the avocados. I've never tried macadamia nut oil but can imagine how tasty that is - definitely want to find some now:).
I'm always looking for new salad ideas for my lunches- this sounds perfect! Looks super tasty and healthy too!
Healthy and filling salad, looks so colorful and tempting..
Angie , I haven't had this kind of salad before and it surely looks beautiful and nutritious ! I keep telling myself to buy lentils so that I can at least try it but so far I haven't had the urge :P I've seen pistachio and walnut oils in one of the supermarkets here , I wonder if they also sell macadamia , I bet the price is prohibitive *sigh*
Recently I made a red lentil dip and I puréed the lentils, boy were they creamy! I love avocado so I know I would love this delicious salad.

This a wonderful salad. I am a big fan of avocados and lentils.
Wow! This salad is simply the best! I will buy macadamias today! I must give it a try :)
I'm so intrigued by this salad! I've never had macadamia oil and truly don't eat red lentils as much as I should! Gorgeous.
Beautiful salad, Angie. And with two ingredients in the dressing I'm not familiar with: cream of balsamic vinegar and macadamia oil. Will definitely be looking into those!
I love love love your use of red lentils in this salad! I don't think I've ever had lentils with avocado and topped with a creamy balsamic - just thinking of all those flavors make my mouth water!
avocado and lentils sounds like a great combination, such a healthy dish and yet looks so inviting!
One day I am going to take a vacation from my blog and cook only your recipes! Thats how much I love what you are doing here!

Cream of Balsamic? Another new one on me. After reading about it, it sure caught my interest. What lovely flavors!
I love cream of balsamic and this lentil salad is packed with flavor!
It does look hearty Angie. Macadamia oil is so perfect for this salad as well. Lovely light there too!
I dont thibnk my comment registered. I love the light in this picture Angie. Apart from that it certainly does look like a hearty salad, bring on the Balsamic cream
What is cream of Balsamic? From the photos it looks very much like balsamic glaze.
Love this colorful salad. I just bought a bag of red lentils but didn't know what I wanted to make with them. Now I do. :D
The salad is so refreshing and healthy.
Red lentils and avocado are two of my favorite things, but I don't think I've ever had them together. This looks fantastic!
Hi Angie,
You had all my favorite ingredients in your plate of lovely salad.
I love it!

Angie this sounds amazing and bursting with flavor. I've never heard of Cream of Balsamic, I'll have to check that out. I love this recipe. I'm going to have to check out that site you found this from. I've noticed you get a lot from there. I've never heard of it but they certainly have wonderful recipes. Thank you for sharing this one.
I eat a whole lot of lentils, these look yummo! I love how nut oils give a wonderful, subtle flavor to dishes.
Ooooh the dressing sounds luscious, Angie! I have a bottle of hazelnut oil sitting in my pantry…and it’s calling my name!! Happy weekend!
