Cuisine: European

Simple and satisfying: this is exactly what a salad should be. We make it easy with a ready-to-go mix of fibre-rich quinoa and lentils. Flake over tender hot-smoked salmon for even less faff. Scatter over crunchy radish and vibrant dill. Finish with crisp salad leaves, the essential green. A salad to give you fuel and on those long sunny nights.

  2. Finely dice the onion. Roughly chop the dill. Trim and thinly slice the radishes.
  3. Once the lentils and quinoa are hot, stir in the yoghurt, mustard, vinegar, dill and half the onion.
  4. Toss the leaf mix through the lentils and quinoa mix. Remove the salmon skin and flake the fish into large chunks over the salad. Garnish with radishes, remaining onion and dill.
