Lentil and Goat Cheese Salad

4.67 from 3 votes
Soak the lentils for at least 5 hours. If you run out of time to do this, then add extra water when cooking and cook for a little longer. Do toast the walnuts - it's worth a little extra effort for the big boost in flavour. You can make this a few hours beforehand and leave, covered in the fridge until required - don't add the dressing until ready to serve.
