Steps:
- Place the lentils in a colander and rinse them under cold water, removing and discarding any damaged specimens or foreign material. Place the lentils in a pot with 2 1/2 cups of lukewarm water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, cover and boil very gently until tender, about 20 minutes for domestic lentils or 35 to 40 minutes for imported lentils.
- Meanwhile, place the bacon pieces in a skillet and cover them with lukewarm water, separating the pieces. Bring to a boil over high heat and immediately drain in a colander. Rinse under cool water and return the bacon to the skillet. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bacon is brown and has rendered its fat. Add the onions and croutons to the bacon and saute for 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until the croutons are brown on all sides.
- Place the dressing ingredients in a salad bowl and add the cabbage. Toss to mix. Drain any remaining liquid from the lentils and add them, while still hot, to the cabbage. Mix well.
- When ready to serve, add the croutons and bacon to the salad bowl, toss well and serve immediately.

[email protected]This salad was just okay. The lentils were a bit bland and the cabbage was a bit too crunchy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different dressing.

[email protected]I wasn't a fan of this salad. The lentils were too mushy and the cabbage was too crunchy. The dressing was also a bit too sweet for my taste.

[email protected]This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used turkey bacon instead of regular bacon and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

[email protected]This was a bit too vinegary for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar or adding a sweetener to balance out the flavor.
