Salade de lentilles - Julie Cuisine

Rinse the lentils under cold water and drain.

In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils, water, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy.

Drain the lentils and let them cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled lentils, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and parsley.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the lentil mixture and toss gently to combine.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
