  1. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and spring greens and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and wilted.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the shallot, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey or agave, mustard, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.
  3. Heat a little olive oil in a separate frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beetroot and cook for 5-10 minutes until lightly caramelised.
  4. Stir the Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils into the greens and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Season to taste.
