Ingredients

4 cups water
1 cup French lentils
½ teaspoon table salt
1 pound tomatoes, cored and diced
6 stalks green onion, chopped
½ cup chopped red or yellow bell pepper
¼ cup minced red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Bring water, lentils, and table salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are fully cooked, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain.
While the lentils are cooking, combine tomatoes, green onion, bell pepper, red onion, dill, basil, olive oil, vinegar, kosher salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Drain lentils. Add hot lentils to the tomato mixture and stir to combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 24 hours to allow flavors to develop.
