Soak the lentils overnight ideally or for at least a couple of hours.
Drain and rinse the lentils and add them to a pot. Add plenty of water, the bay leaf and stock cube.
Bring to boil, lower the heat, semi-cover and cook and 30 minutes or until the lentils are cooked.
In a large pot with salted boiling water, boil your broccoli for 3 minutes. Then remove and add it on a baking tray, along with the olive oil and seasoning.
Bake the broccoli for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C.
Prepare the dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients.
Once the broccoli is baked, remove it from the oven and cut into small pieces.
Once the lentils are cooked, remove the bay leaf and drain. Set aside from few minutes to cool down.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked lentils and chopped broccoli, along with the spring onions and dressing. Mix to combine and serve.
