Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt to taste
½ cup dried lentils
2 cups water
1 cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup sliced green onions
⅓ cup plain low-fat yogurt
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Toss potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt together in a 9x13-inch baking dish until coated.
Bake until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring lentils, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Combine potatoes, lentils, red bell pepper, and green onions in a large bowl.
Whisk yogurt, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and turbinado sugar together; drizzle over potato mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
