📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the lentils. Combine the lentils in a saucepan with 3 cups of water (or veggie broth) and stir to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and maintain the simmer until the lentils are tender, about ⏱️ 20-25 minutes depending on the type of lentils used. Use a strainer to drain and rinse the lentils in cold water for ⏱️ 1 minute until they are chilled, and set aside.
2
Mix the dressing. Meanwhile, as the lentils are cooking, combine all of the lemon dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until combined.
3
Combine. Add the cooked and chilled lentils, cucumber, red onion, mint and sun-dried tomatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle evenly with the lemon dressing and toss until evenly combined.
4
Serve. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days.
