Here is how you make Summer Lentil Salad:

Simply dice all three peppers into small squares, place in mixing bowl. Dice red onion, add to bowl.Add 2.5 cups of pre-cooked lentils (Trader Joe's makes a great box of lentils, find it in the refridgerated section...I use the whole box).In a separate container, mix mustard, red wine vinegar and sugar. Mix thoroughly. This is the dressing.Once dressing is combined, pour over the mixture of peppers, lentils and onion. Mix until everything is coated.I like to serve this on top of arugula for a little extra bite, but can be put on any greens or served alone. If this is the main meal, I add a slice of goat cheese for some extra protein and a nice mild flavor.Makes 6 servings (generous 1/2 cup per serving)Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NICIV7.
