Tips
Dried French green lentils (Du Puy lentils) are a great substitution for this salad as they hold their shape well. To cook, rinse well and add to boiling water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 25 to 40 min., or until tender but not mushy. 1 cup dried lentils yields approx. 2 cups (500 mL) cooked.
