Step 1: Vinaigrette ... Add everything to a small bowl, mason jar, or tupperware container. I like the mason jar or tupperware; just cover and shake. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2: Lentils ... Cook the lentils according to package directions in chicken broth - for extra flavor. Then, set to the side to cool a bit. You can serve this salad warm; but, I prefer to see it chilled.
Step 3: Salad ... Once the lentils have cooled slightly (I prefer them NOT warm; but, they don't have to be completely cold either); add to a bowl with the carrots, scallions, parsley, arugula; and some of the vinaigrette. Then, toss to combine. Add as much vinaigrette as you like; as I said - I tend to lightly dress my salads.
Step 4: Finish, Serve, ENJOY! ... Add the cheese; and toss. Ready to serve. And, to make this a main dish; simply add some cooked chicken - some thin sliced grilled chicken on top.
