Gradually add cold water until smooth and creamy but still pourable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6: <\/strong>Toast sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden. Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly. Time to assemble<\/strong>! In a large bowl, combine lettuce, lentils, roasted vegetables, pear slices, almonds, and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with tahini dressing and gently toss. Enjoy slightly warm or chilled with a slice of homemade bread<\/a>. Store components separately<\/strong> in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat roasted vegetables if desired and slice the pear fresh before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the dressing thickens<\/strong> in the fridge, simply whisk in a splash of water until creamy again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s best to store the individual components separately in the refrigerator. That way, you can briefly reheat (air-fry) the roasted vegetables before serving and assemble the salad fresh. If the salad is already mixed, try to eat the leftovers as soon as possible \u2014 ideally the next day.<\/p> <\/div> No problem at all. Simply use a little water or oil instead.<\/p> <\/div> Don\u2019t worry \u2014 that\u2019s completely normal! Just add a splash of water and stir briefly until the dressing becomes smooth and creamy again.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n If you like this sweet potato lentil salad you will probably also like these vegan salad recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this vegan, oil-free Sweet Potato Lentil Salad recipe a try.
