1-1/4 cup Dry French Green Lentils, Rinsed
2-1/2 cups Water
1 whole Dried Bay Leaf
1/2 teaspoons Salt
20 whole Pitted Kalamata Olives, Sliced Or Roughly Chopped
1/4 cups Finely Chopped Red Onion
1 whole Roma/plum Tomato, Seeded And Chopped
1 cup Chopped Celery Or Bell Pepper
1/3 cups Chopped Walnuts, Preferably Toasted
2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Herbs, Such As Parsley, Oregano, Or Even Mint
12 whole Large Leaves Of Romaine Or Bibb Lettuce
FOR THE DRESSING:
1/3 cups Sour Cream (or Greek Yogurt, Preferably NOT Non-fat)
2/3 cups Plain Hummus
2 Tablespoons Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 pinch Ground Black Pepper, Or More To Taste

1
Combine lentils, water, bay leaf, and salt in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered until lentils are tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and remove the bay leaf. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and set in the fridge to cool.
2
Combine sour cream, hummus, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to taste to make the dressing.
3
Add olives, vegetables, nuts, and herbs to the lentils, then pour in the dressing. Stir gently until everything is well mixed and adjust seasoning as needed.
4
Serve lettuce leaves and lentil salad family-style, letting everyone scoop plenty of filling onto each piece of lettuce. If you have any of the salad ingredients leftover, serve as extra toppings. The lentil salad keeps well for a couple days in the fridge-just stir to remedy any separation caused by the water content of the tomatoes.
5
The recipe is gluten-free and vegetarian as written.
