Lentil Salad with Vinegar

Ingredients

• 250 g (1¼ cups) small green or brown lentils
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, diced
• A big handful of parsley
• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp mustard
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Simmer the lentils for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender but holding their shape. Drain.

Tip. Dressing the lentils while warm lets them soak up the flavour.
