Equipment

  • pot
  • Colander
  • Large Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups lentils green or brown
  • 4 green onions chopped finely
  • ½ bunch Italian parsley chopped finely
  • 4 ounces lemon juice from 2 to 3 lemons
  • 3 ounces olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare lentils and chop fresh ingredients. In a medium pot, bring lentils to a boil over medium high heat with enough water to cover lentils by two inches. Once water is boiling, set a timer for 10 minutes. While the lentils boil, chop green onions and parsley and juice the lemons.
  • Drain lentils. Once lentils have boiled for 10 minutes, test one by biting into it to make sure lentils are al dente (not soft like they would be in soup, but not hard and crunchy). Remove from heat and strain into a colander. Rinse lentejas with cold water.
  • Mix ingredients. Mix lentils, green onions, and parsley in a large bowl. Next add lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
  • Chill and enjoy. Cover ensalada de lentejas and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy cold as a delicious and refreshing side dish.
