Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Using a strainer, drain and rinse lentils. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop cilantro. Peel, then mince or grate half the ginger (use all for 4 ppl). Peel, then finely chop shallot. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices. Zest, then juice lemon. Zest orange. Cut a 1/4-inch piece off the top and bottom ends of orange. Place one flat end on a cutting board, then cut the peel away from top to bottom, turning orange as you go. When peeled completely, place orange on its side and cut into 1/4-inch rounds.

2
Toast almonds

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer almonds to a plate.

3
Make vinaigrette

While almonds toast, whisk together apricot spread, ginger, a quarter of the shallots, half the lemon zest, half the orange zest, lemon juice, any orange juice from the cutting board and 3 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

4
Cook lentils

Heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high. Add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic and remaining shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 min. Add lentils. Sprinkle Dal Spice Blend over top. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are warmed through and spices are fragrant, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the pan from heat. Add remaining lemon zest, remaining orange zest and half the vinaigrette, then stir to combine.

5
Toss salad

Add cilantro, arugula and spinach mix and peppers to the large bowl with remaining vinaigrette. Toss to combine.

6
Finish and serve

Arrange orange rounds along plate edges. Divide salad between plates, then top with lentils. Sprinkle with almonds.
