The Best Crunchy Lentil Salad
  1. First, rinse lentils in a strainer. Then add to a pot with 4-5 cups of water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil (uncovered) - then lower to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes. Then strain lentils and let cool. The texture of the lentils shouldn't be mushy - they should have a semi-firm outer shell but tender on the inside.

  2. Prep your vegetables, nuts, and grapes while lentils cook.

  3. Whisk all of dressing ingredients together in liquid measuring cup or small bowl - season with salt & black pepper to taste.

  4. In a large bowl add cooled lentils, chopped vegetables, grapes, nuts, and then pour all of dressing over top. Toss salad together and serve!
