- Take the gorgonzola and grate or crumble it. Set aside.
- In a serving dish, place the lentils (cooked or canned, drained). Add some of the marinated onion and confit tomatoes.
- Grate more gorgonzola over the salad. Season with pepper and marjoram. Drizzle with oil.
- Optional: top with grilled prawns for an extra touch.
