Steps

1Start by making the lentils. Rinse the lentils with cold water and drain.
2Add them to a pot and fill with water. Set the pot to high and bring the water to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt and lower the heat to medium low and simmer for 15-18 minutes. This is a good time to chop everything while the lentils are cooking.
3Keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook. As soon as they soften, rinse with cold water, and drain them well. Put the lentils in a large bowl.
4Add a pinch of salt, freshly cracked pepper, oil, lemon juice and vinegar to the lentils and stir. This will allow the warm lentils to soak up all the flavors.
5Add all the veggies and herbs. Stir together. Taste and adjust as necessary. You may need to add more salt or a tablespoon more of oil.
6Refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 24 hours. The longer it refrigerates, the better!
