100 gr smoked eel
300 gr cooked beetroot
150 gr lentils
¼ apple
½ teaspoon lemon juice
100 gr greek yogurt
1 tbl spoon olive oil
2 twigs dill

Instructions

Rinse the lentils until the water is clear. Boil them in lightly salted water according to the instructions on the package. Place them in a sieve and let them cool down. Then spoon them with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cut the cooked beetroot into fine cubes and spoon with the Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper. Finely chop one sprig of dill and mix it with the beetroot.
Cut the apple into small cubes and mix with ½ tsp lemon juice. This ensures that the apple does not turn brown.
Cut the eel into slices.
Now place a layer of lentils on the bottom of a serving bowl or in separate plates. Then the beetroot with yoghurt. Place the eel slices on top and sprinkle the apple cubes over them. Decorate extra with some dill.

Notes

The festivities at the end of the year are just around the corner. Here too, these days do not pass without family or friends and beautiful festive tables with tasty dishes. I have been testing different flavor combinations for several weeks now and this salad was unanimously chosen as the perfect starter.

Culinary creativity shines in this starter, ideal for the end-of-year celebrations: a harmonious fusion of lentils, beetroot and smoked eel.

In this dish I combine traditional ingredients but with a modern twist, perfect for a festive table. Rich in nutrients and full of flavour.

The preparation is simple and you can prepare everything in advance. It's best to just put it together at the moment. The color combination of the beetroot and dill immediately puts you in a festive mood.

An ideal choice for those who want to surprise their guests with a unique and tasteful start to a Christmas or end-of-year party.
