Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 cup uncooked lentils
  • 1 English cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup diced and drained sun-dried tomatoes

For the dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

  1. Combine the lentils in a saucepan with 3 cups of water and stir to combine.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer. Simmer until lentils are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
  3. As the lentils are cooking, combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until combined.
  4. To assemble the salad, add the cooked and chilled lentils, cucumber, red onion, mint and sun-dried tomatoes to a large bowl.  Toss with dressing until combined.
