It is hard to imagine that an appetite would manifest itself the day after this Thanksgiving feast.
It is requesting lighter fare, however.
INGREDIENTS: 2 servings
- 1/2 cup of lentils (I used green lentils)
- 1/2 cup of diced celery
- 2 cups of leftover turkey meat
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 cup of pomegranate arils
- Dressing: 1 garlic clove, 1 tbsp of raspberry vinegar (or any other), 3 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of harissa (optional).
METHOD:
- Boil the lentils in 3 cups of water till tender, about 20 minutes; drain and transfer to a bowl. Add the diced celery and pomegranate arils and combine.
- Crush the garlic clove in a mortar and transfer to a small bowl; add the vinegar, harissa and olive oil. Mix to emulsify. Pour over the lentils and combine. Serve the salad with some leftover turkey pieces and avocado slices.

I love salads that include lentils, especially green ones, and particularly du Puy
Your dish looks so elegant Joumana. The avocado has such a beautiful color!
A great cleansing dish indeed. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
C’est vrai qu’avec la dinde, il y a souvent des restes ! ;o)))
Bisous

A great salad! That combination is so toothsome.
Cheers,

Beautiful way to dress up that leftover turkey! I wish I could say I was nearly as creative …
Hard to believe – we finished the leftovers today and now I want this. So I’ll just have to get another turkey. Am a sucker for lentils.
Yum.. definitely a good way to get something good for you in there during the holidays!
Elle a de beaux ” restes ” ta salade…
Happy Thanksgiving Joumana.
Very beautiful salad, I love all of them in it. see you.
What a beautiful and delicious way to use left-over turkey! Two days later, we are still working on cleaning up the left-overs here and I’m finally digging out from all of the Thanksgiving chores. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Joumana!
Great combo! Lean protein, fiber, good fats, and antioxidants. Plus delicious, I’m sure. (And yes, that pesky appetite always returns, doesn’t it?)
What a delightful presentation! Love all the good health in this dish too. One thinks never to eat again after a big dinner, but it just doesn’t work that way!
I love this idea… finally soemthing different from the usual leftover turkey sandwich. And lighter too, which is really nice!
Terrible that my appetite is bigger than ever! This is a healthy way to satiate though!
Such a pretty way to make use of leftovers! Yum!
I just happen to have some leftover lentils in my fridge. And some celery. No turkey, but it will make a great salad regardless.
What a gorgeous and flavorful salad…even without the turkey
So light and fresh, a great post Thanksgiving dish.
