Lentil and Fennel Salad
Lentils are often found in stews or hot dishes, but they're also good cold or room temperature. This salad combines the earthy flavor of lentils with fennel and a sweet, herbed balsamic dressing. If fresh fennel is unavailable, use celery and chopped celery leaves.

1 cup(s) Brown lentils, dried
1/4 cup(s) Olive oil
2 tablespoon(s) Balsamic vinegar
1/2 pound(s) Fennel bulb, trimmed and julienned, leaves reserved
1/2 teaspoon(s) Thyme, dried
2 Scallions, thinly sliced
to taste Black pepper, freshly ground


Instructions:
1. Wash and pick over the lentils, discarding any discolored ones. Put lentils in a saucepan and add cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the lentils are tender but still firm, 15–30 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water.
2. In a serving bowl, combine the oil and vinegar. Add the lentils and toss to coat. Add the fennel, thyme, scallions, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Chop about 1 tablespoon reserved fennel leaves and sprinkle on top of salad. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
