Ingredients

• 1 cup Green or brown lentils
• 1 cup Radish sprouts
• 1 medium, diced Cucumber
• 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the lentils under cold water and pick out any debris.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 3

While the lentils are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely dice the red onion.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, radish sprouts, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a fresh and vibrant salad, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
