Instructions
Potato Salad
Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F. Place the potatoes onto a large baking sheet and use your hands to mix in the rosemary, oil, and salt. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown.
Take the potatoes out of the oven and place them into a large bowl. Add the lentils and spinach, top with the vinaigrette, and mix until fully combined. The spinach will wilt from the warm potatoes. Serve immediately.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
Place all of the ingredients into a jar or container and shake until fully combined.
Notes
• Leftovers don't keep as well with larger potatoes cut into pieces, but it will if you use new potatoes. I find the smaller pieces tend to dry out a bit if you eat it the next day. • Some people who made the other recipe found it either to have too much or not enough mustard. Of course you can alter the amount to your tastes, depending on how much you like mustard. * I used regular brown lentils but French or puy lentils would be a great choice.
