Mustard Dressing
Instructions
Rinse lentils, place in a saucepan and cover with enough cold water to cover by 1 to 2 inches (3 to 5 cm). It's important to use enough water so that lentils remain covered throughout cooking. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat 20 to 30 minutes, according to desired firmness. Transfer to a bowl, add in roughly chopped cranberries and pecans, then set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and cut baby potatoes in half. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast 25-30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare mustard dressing. Mix all ingredients together except the capers to obtain a homogeneous and creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning and add capers.
Finely chop green onions and kale (stems removed). Add to a bowl along with half the mustard dressing and massage with your hands until kale turns soft, about 2 minutes.
In bowls or deep salad plates, place kale and lentils, then top with roasted baby potatoes. Drizzle with remaining mustard dressing and serve.
