This modern mayo-free take on potato salad is packed with fresh flavor from Oven-Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes, briney olives, and an explosion of fresh herbs.

  • Step 1

    Cook the lentils: combine the lentils with the 4 cups water or vegetable broth, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool completely. 

  • Step 2

    Cook the potatoes: cover potatoes with cold water and  bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, cut in half, and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Mix Oven-Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes, red onion, celery, mint, parsley, olives, and grated garlic in a serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Step 4

    Toss lentils and potatoes with tomato mixture.  Top with tuna or sardines, if using, and hard boiled eggs. Garnish with extra herbs.
