- Mix all remaining ingredients into lentils. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Tips:
- Choose the right lentils and beans: For this salad, it's best to use small, firm lentils and beans. Lentils such as brown or black lentils, and beans such as chickpeas or kidney beans, work well.
- Cook the lentils and beans properly: Lentils and beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can make them mushy.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh, ripe vegetables will give the salad the best flavor. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions are all good choices.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings the salad together. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. You can also add a bit of honey or Dijon mustard for sweetness and tang.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and also make the salad more refreshing.
