Instructions

1

Cook the Lentils

Place French green lentils in a pot with 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender but still holding their shape. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

2

Make the Dressing

Whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until a smooth, pourable dressing forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Combine the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, thawed edamame, chopped parsley, and baby spinach. Toss gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
