3. Combine lime zest and juice, 1/2 crushed garlic clove, 1/4 tsp chilli flakes (optional), 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1/2 tsp honey in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

4. Peel and halve the eggs. Set aside.
Trim and slice radishes. Finely chop coriander (reserve half for garnish). Toss with shredded beetroot, lentils, broccoli and dressing.
