Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the lentils, salt, and bay leaf. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not falling apart. Drain and blot dry and then transfer them to a medium bowl.
- While the lentils are cooking, prepare the rest of the salad. Peel the kohlrabi, making sure to remove any tough or woody parts, and cut it into 1/2 inch dice. Scrub the carrot and cut it into 1/2 inch dice as well. Thinly slice the green onions right up into the dark green.
- Heat the oven to 350F. Spread out the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for 5 minutes.
- Add the kohlrabi, carrots, green onions, and parsley to the bowl with the lentils.
- Mix together the dressing ingredients. Toss the salad with the dressing and then top with the toasted walnuts and crumbled goat cheese.
