Warm Lentils With Vinaigrette

1. 1

   In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the lentils, turn down the heat, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the lentils are tender but still have some bite.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, and vinegar until the salt dissolves.

3. 3

   Whisk in the mustard. Add the oil in a thin steady stream, whisking until the dressing emulsifies.

4. 4

   When the lentils are cooked, drain them into a colander. Transfer the lentils to a bowl. Spoon half of the dressing over the lentils while they are hot. Stir gently. Let them sit until they are just warm.

5. 5

   Add the onion, scallions, and parsley. Stir and add enough dressing to coat the lentils. Serve at once with roast lamb, chicken, or broiled salmon.
