- 4.In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, juice from one lemon, minced garlic, and the remaining 15ml (1 tablespoon) of olive oil. Gradually add 60-80ml of water while whisking until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with salt.
- 5.In a large serving bowl, combine the warm roasted vegetables, cooked lentils, the thinly sliced raw red onion, and most of the chopped fresh parsley.
