Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Dress and Serve
Pour the tahini dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one day.
