Preparation steps

Soak the green lentils in a bowl of cold water overnight or for 12 hours.

Rinse and drain the green lentils. In a medium saucepan combine green lentils and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the red lentils and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.

In a large bowl, combine the lentils, tomatoes, spring onions, chives and goat cheese.

For the Dressing:

In a small bowl combine vinegar, oil and garlic; season with salt, pepper and sugar. Drizzle dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

To Assemble:

Arrange lettuce leaves on individual plates and divide the lentil salad among serving plates. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
