Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups brown lentils, rinsed
4 large eggs
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large cucumber, peeled, if desired, and diced (2 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

In a small saucepan, cover lentils with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender but still holding their shape, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well.
Meanwhile, place eggs in a small saucepan; cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and cover. Let stand 12 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Peel eggs; chop roughly.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and oil. Add lentils, cucumber, parsley, and onion; season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat with dressing. Let cool to room temperature, or serve chilled, topped with chopped eggs.
