Lentil Rice Fruit Salad image

I got this from my sister years ago; I'm not sure where she got it. The combination of ingredients may seem strange, but do give it a try! The flavors blend beautifully for a wonderfully different cold salad. Note: prep/cook time does not include time for cooking rice and lentils.
