Lentil and pepper salad with grilled No Moo, cheese alternatives

Did you know: Vegusto's vegan cheese blocks can be grilled like halloumi cheese? Here we serve Vegusto halloumi with a fine salad of lentils, kidney beans and peppers.

Preparation

Rinse the lentils in a sieve with water, cover and simmer in salted water for 10 minutes.
Mix all the ingredients for the salad dressing well in a bowl.
Rinse the kidney beans in a sieve with water. Wash and deseed the peppers and cut into thin strips.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Drain the cooked lentils in a sieve.
Finally, mix the cooked lentils, kidney beans, pepper strips and chopped onions with the salad dressing. Season the salad dressing with salt and pepper to taste and garnish the salad with basil leaves.
For the grilled cheese, cut the vegan cheese alternatives in half crosswise so that each slice is only about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat some frying oil in a griddle or grill pan and fry the vegan cheese slices for 2-3 minutes on both sides.

Serve with a green salad, fresh herbs and basmati rice or pasta.
