Today we bring you a very good option for these hot days that we are having in many parts of Spain. It is a lentil salad with broccoli sprigs that we will accompany with a wonderful turmeric mayonnaise. In addition, it is a great recipe to use if we have already cooked broccoli left over from another preparation. It is perfect as a starter for example for a fish dish such as sea bass in salt or for a complete dinner that we can accompany with some bread and a fruit dessert, for example.

It is a very simple and fast dish that we can leave prepared in advance stored in a tupperware in our fridge, ready to use it when we need it. Healthy, balanced and very tasty.

Total time: 10M

Ingredients

Salad:

16-20 cooked broccoli florets
400 g of cooked lentils
2 medium tomatoes
1/2 purple spring onion
1 heaping teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
a pinch of pepper
a splash of vinegar
30 g of extra virgin olive oil

Turmeric mayonnaise:

1 egg
1 dash of vinegar
250 g mild olive oil
125 g of sunflower oil
1 pinch of salt
2 teaspoons turmeric powder

Preparation

Put the well drained lentils in a large bowl.
In the thermomix glass we add the onion, the oil, the vinegar, the salt and the cumin. We shred 5 seconds, speed 5. We lower the remains of the lid and walls and repeat the operation again.
We pour this vinaigrette over the lentils and stir well.
Cut the tomato into cubes with a knife and add it to the lentils. We stir again and let it rest while we prepare the mayonnaise.
We put a container on the lid and press the balance button. We weigh the oil in a jar and reserve.
We put the egg, the salt and the vinegar in the glass and we crush 30 seconds, speed 4. With the beaker on and we put the selector on speed 4, no time. We pour the oil over the lid so that it slowly falls through the nozzle and thus emulsifies the sauce.
When all the oil has fallen we stop the machine. This step will take us about 2 minutes or so. We open the lid, add the turmeric and add salt if necessary.
We remove 5 seconds, speed 4 so that the turmeric is well integrated.

Notes

It is a perfect recipe to take advantage of previously cooked broccoli.
