About this recipe

Green beans lentil salad is easy, healthy, and filling. Lentils are delicious and perfect for creating a balanced and flavourful meal. They’re especially pleasurable in salads and soups and due to their high fibre content, represent an excellent choice for keeping you full.

You just can’t go wrong with lentils and their benefitsI love making healthy grain salads and this vegetarian salad is one of them. Remove the feta and you get a delicious vegan meal.

The most important step in making lentil salad is perfecting the cooking of the lentils so they maintain their shape and firm-tender bite. Be careful not to overcook them as they will become mushy. This salad along with my french lentil and pea salad will keep very well in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes from Rouba

  • It’s best to give lentils a rinse before cooking to eliminate any dirt.

Method

Step 1.

Place the lentils in a large saucepan of boiling water, uncovered. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils is tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

Boil or steam the green beans. Trim and cut into 5-6 cm long pieces.
Slightly toast the walnuts

Step 3.

To make the dressing, add the dressing ingredients to a jar. Season with salt. Shake to combine. Combine the lentils, onion, green beans, parsley, and walnuts in a bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and mix. Top with crumbled feta.

Here’s a serving tip: Shred some chicken and call it dinner?

That’s me at the age of 32 with Merlin, who worked closely with Palestinian families. Together, we were so excited about the project. After that unforgettable visit with Auntie Suad, I was filled with excitement about the project. The women I met were inspiring, and together we had even come up with a name for the cookbook: Taste of Palestine. 🥰🇵🇸 It was a name that captured the heart of what we wanted to share—stories, recipes, and traditions tied to the land and its people.

But for many reasons, the project didn’t go ahead. At the time, I wasn’t prepared for the reality that not everyone would understand or support what I was doing. There were people who gossiped, joked, and made me question myself. Looking back now, I see that they were the minority, but their words had a way of making me doubt myself 🥺

if this happened now—I would not have let anything stop me. This was for a good cause, but I also believe that everything happens for a reason. The project was meant to be set aside, and I needed to focus on my boys, who were still young.
A couple of years later, we received the heartbreaking news of Auntie Suad’s passing 🥲🙏🏽It felt as though a part of the story had been left unfinished. A few weeks later, something arrived in the mail that would bring me to tears 😭 There’s more 🤗
