Nothing "beets" a healthy and delicious salad like this beetroot and lentil salad with tahini dressing, walnuts, capers and feta cheese. Beetroots are high in fibre while the puy lentils are an excellent source of protein. Puy lentils have a peppery flavour and hold their shape well after it has been cooked making it perfect for this recipe. This beautifully presented salad will impress your guests. This recipe is made using the Tefal Clipso Minut' Perfect pressure cooker which cuts the preparation time in half for steaming the beetroot and cooking the lentils.
