Directions

Step 1

Rinse the green lentils under cold water using a fine mesh sieve.

In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils, 3 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Drain the lentils well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.

Step 5

In the meantime, prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and dice the red bell pepper.

Step 6

Add the prepared vegetables and chopped fresh parsley to the cooled lentils.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the vinaigrette over the lentil and vegetable mixture, and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste if necessary.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour to enhance flavors. Enjoy your Whole30 Linsensalat!
