 Lentil Salad with Spinach
 
 
2 1/3 cups   lentils  
1 small   onion, halved  
1 cup   carrot, chopped  
1 clove   garlic  
1   bay leaf  
4 tbs   red wine vinegar  
1/2 cup   olive oil  
1 tsp   salt  
1/2 tsp   black pepper  
1 1/2 lbs   spinach leaves, shredded  
1/4 lb   cheddar cheese  
 
In a medium pot, combine the lentils, onion, carrot, garlic, bay leaf, and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain; discard the onion, carrot, garlic, and bay leaf.
For dressing, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a large dish.
Place spinach in a large glass or stainless-steel bowl. Add the hot lentils and toss with half the dressing, the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss the mixture gently until the spinach wilts. Toss the remaining spinach into the remaining dressing and put on plates. Top with the lentil mixture. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cheese over the top.
