Lentil Salad with Sautéed Beans

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (~450g) green/wax beans (I used a 50/50 mixture)
  • 1 1/2 TBS olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup (~140g) fresh corn kernels (frozen works also)
  • 1 2/3 cup (~275g) cooked green lentils
  • 1 cup (~135g) grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 medium peach, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup (~35g) crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 TBS finely chopped red onion
  • 2 TBS chopped fresh parsley, coriander
  • 1 TBS lemon
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, add more to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse and snap off the tough end of the beans. Heat a medium sauté pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, pour in the beans and cook for 4-6 minutes. I like to cover the pan with a lid so that the beans cook faster. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • While the beans are cooking, heat a small pan with 1/2 tablespoon of oil. When the pan is hot, add the fresh corn. Stir constantly, and let it cook for about 4 minutes. The kernels will turn into a light yellow color when they're ready. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix the lentils, corn, tomatoes, peaches, feta, onion, and parsley together. Add the lemon juice and a teaspoon of salt to the salad. Add more salt if necessary.
  • Serve the lentil salad with the beans on the side.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container.
