Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add lentils and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining oil, lemon juice, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt. Add lentils, almonds (if using), cabbage, and herbs and toss to combine. Lentil salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Tips:
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of cabbage, such as green cabbage, red cabbage, and Savoy cabbage.
- Shred the cabbage thinly so that it will absorb the dressing more easily.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onion so that it will not overpower the other flavors in the salad.
- Make the dressing in advance and let it sit for at least 30 minutes so that the flavors can meld together.
- If you are using a store-bought dressing, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for up to 2 hours before serving.

French cabbage salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crunchy cabbage, tangy dressing, and sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
