4. Toss the lentils
Thinly slice basil leaves. Toss through drained lentils with 1/2 the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Finish and plate
Divide lentils among bowls. Top with roast vegetables and watercress. Spoon over dressing and scatter over almonds.

Add crushed garlic to the dressing if you have any left over!
