Original Recipe Yield 14 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried brown lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped green olives
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Place lentils in a large pot with enough water to cover be a few inches. Bring to a boil, and cook until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water in a colander to cool. Let stand for a few minutes to drain well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the red pepper, onion and green olives, and toss to blend. Refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving to blend the flavors. This salad tastes better the longer it sits.

This salad is just okay, kinda bland. It's missing something, but I couldn't figure out what.
