Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F/215°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Boil potatoes: Add potato cubes to a pot of water with a few pinches of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until you can easily pierce a potato with a fork, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes dry for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Roast potatoes: Toss potatoes with olive oil and spread out on prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes.
Step 4
Par-cook carrots and celery: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the potatoes to one side. Add sliced carrots and celery and return to oven for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 5
Make pickled onions: Place thinly sliced onions, salt, and lemon juice in a bowl and toss to coat the onions. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
Step 6
Salt cucumbers: Place thinly sliced cucumbers in a bowl and mix with salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to draw the water out of the cucumbers. Gently squeeze excess water out of the cucumbers.
Step 7
Make dressing: Whisk together vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, and mustard.
Step 8
Toss salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, lentils, dill, parsley, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, celery, and pickled onions (you can add the pickling liquid as well). Pour dressing over and toss until well combined. Taste and add salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
