Step 1

If you are using dry lentils instead of canned, cook them according to package instructions to yield ~3.5 cups.

Step 2

Combine the black lentils, chopped kale, and pomegranate arils in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced red onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss until coated. Sprinkle in the goat cheese crumbles and gently mix until combined. Enjoy!
