Instructions

Pickle shallots
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then thinly slice shallot. Zest, then juice lemon. Add shallots, lemon juice, honey and 2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until salt dissolves, 1-2 min. Remove the pot from heat. Transfer shallots, including pickling liquid, to a large bowl.

Prep and marinate lentils
2

Meanwhile, thinly slice chives. Peel cucumber, if desired. Halve lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half moons. Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces. Using a strainer, drain and rinse lentils. Add mustard, half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) 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
3

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
4

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, 3-4 min. Transfer croutons to the plate with walnuts.

Coat goat cheese
5

Meanwhile, add chives and lemon zest to a shallow dish. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. Roll goat cheese into 6 equal-sized balls (12 balls for 4 ppl). Roll each goat cheese ball in chive mixture to coat completely.

Finish and serve
6

Add croutons and arugula and spinach mix to the bowl with marinated lentils. Toss to combine. Divide salad between plates. Top with herby goat cheese and walnuts.
