¼cupthinly sliced scallions, or 3 tablespoons finely diced shallot
3tablespoonschopped parsley
Instructions
Place the lentils in a saucepan and cover with water by 3 inches. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the lentils are tender all the way through (adding more water if necessary), about 30 minutes.
Drain and reserve ½ cup of the cooking water.
Place the drained lentils in a bowl and toss with vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and/or vinegar if needed.
Add olive oil, scallions and parsley and stir gently to combine well.
If the lentils seem dry and are hard to stir, loosen them with a little bit of the reserved cooking water.
