Brown or green lentils work too if that&#8217;s what you have. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roasted pumpkin<\/strong> \u2013 can easily swap in butternut squash, acorn squash, or sweet potato. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feta cheese<\/strong> \u2013 adds a salty, tangy contrast. For a vegan version, swap in cubed tofu instead. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silan (date syrup)<\/strong> \u2013 used in the pumpkin roasting mix for a touch of caramel sweetness. If you can&#8217;t find it, maple syrup or honey work as substitutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_5816.jpg\" alt=\"Lentil Salad With Roasted Pumpkin And Feta Cheese\" class=\"wp-image-785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_5816.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_5816-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tips for Success:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soaking the lentils beforehand is recommended, though not required, anywhere from 30 minutes up to 12 hours in the fridge. It boosts their nutritional value and helps them cook a bit faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook the lentils in unsalted water, just like pasta, and let them cool before assembling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If making the salad ahead, leave the arugula out until right before serving so it stays crisp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooking a big batch of lentils anyway? Freeze the extras in 1-cup portions for next time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\"

leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I make this vegan?<\/strong> Yes, just swap the feta cheese for cubed tofu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I substitute the pumpkin?<\/strong> Yes, sweet potato, butternut squash, or acorn squash all work well instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I make this ahead of time?<\/strong> Yes, just leave out

soaking them beforehand is recommended, though not required, anywhere from 30 minutes up to 12 hours in the fridge, it boosts their nutritional value and helps them cook a bit faster. Place the lentils in a pot with plenty of water (like cooking pasta), no salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes.
