Directions

  1. PREHEAT the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. FOR the marinade: place vinegar, oil, honey, mustard, and thyme in a blender and puree until the thyme has been incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Pour half onto cooked lentils and reserve remainder. Allow lentils to marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. SPREAD bread cubes evenly on a baking tray. Bake until lightly toasted, approximately 5 minutes, and let cool.
  4. IN a larger bowl, combine toasted bread, arugula, tomatoes, cheese, onion, prosciutto, and olives together. Toss lentils into salad. Drizzle with remaining dressing, and serve immediately.
