Fruity Turkey Salad
- Ingredients
- 1 shallot
- ¾ cup Vegetable broth
- 3 ozs Red lentils

- 1 pinch sugar
- salt
- peppers
- Curry powder
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
- 2 scallions

Peel the shallot, finely chop and bring to a boil with the broth in a small pot.
Sprinkle in lentils, cover and cook for about 8 minutes in the broth.
Meanwhile, cut lime in half and squeeze juice. Mix lime juice with sugar and curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 tablespoon oil.
Trim scallions, rinse, cut into rings and mix with the dressing.

Healthy, because
Folic acid is a B vitamin that is often neglected in the diet - but by no means in this poultry salad, which is refined with lots of fruit and vegetables. One portion already provides 40 percent of the daily allowance; especially women who want to have children or are in early pregnancy benefit from it.
Even smarter
A high-fibre wholemeal baguette as a side dish goes well with it. If you like, you can also sprinkle the salad with 1 tbsp. pumpkin seeds, which have been briefly roasted in a pan without fat.
