French Green Lentil Salad

Created by acerast on February 24, 2013

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375F (190C, gas mark 5).
Step 2: Spread walnuts in an even layer over baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool.
Step 3: Remove any debris from your lentils and rinse them.
Step 4: Combine 2 quarts of water and lentils in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 20-30 minutes or until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally. Lentils that have been on the shelf awhile may be drier and require a bit extra cooking time. I like to check my lentils after 20 minutes because I like them with a little chewiness. When cooked to you preference, drain lentils and discard liquid.
Step 5: While lentils cook dice the green onion, radishes, carrot, and celery.
Step 6: In a large bowl combine lentils, vegetables, parsley, vinegar, oil, salt, thyme and pepper; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until cool.
Step 7: Stir in walnuts. Serve as is or atop lettuce leaves.
