A perfect summer salad that is light, yet hearty enough to serve for dinner.
How to cook dried lentils: For each cup of dried lentils, place into 3 cups of boiling water. Once the water returns to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes until soft. If you are using them in a salad you may want to cook them a bit less, so they are more firm, compared to using them mashed up in a burger or something – where you would cook them until very soft (10-15 minutes longer).
