Roast Beef and Lentil Salad with a Horseradish Dressing

This is a great salad for using up leftovers from a beef joint. I love beef and horseradish together it’s as good as beef with mustard. For texture and earthiness I added in the lentils. I love this way of cooking them too. I chuck in 1/4 of a stock cube so you get a bit more flavour into them. So all together this is earthy and yummy 😋

Ingredients (serves 2)

For the Dressing
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp creamed horseradish
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
For the Salad
  • Bag of salad leaves
  • 4-8 slices of cooked beef
  • 60g lentils
  • 1/4 stock cube, optional

Directions

  1. Give the lentils a good rinse about 3 times. Add them to a saucepan, sprinkle over the stock cube if using. Add some water so there is about an inch above the lentils. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer with no lid. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until there is no liquid left. Set aside.
  2. Add the salad to 2 bowls, spoon over the lentils and tear over the beef.
  3. Finish off with dressing add all of the ingredients to a bowl or jar, give it a good whisk or shake. Drizzle over the salad. Enjoy 😊
