Canned lentil salad, mustard dressing
No cooking, holds well past the length of any single service.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 5 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
- Canned lentils1.3 lb
- Mustard0.7 oz
- Red onion1 ea
- Olive oil2.7 tbsp
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for canned lentil salad, mustard dressing, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 5 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
- No heat. Assemble from cold ingredients. Keep covered until service.
- Holds about 120 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Fridge units: 0 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 0 shelf-thirds while it waits.
Base recipe: one batch, 5 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 0 minutes at the stove either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
