Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cover the lentils with cold water by two inches. Add the bay leaf, bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain well and discard the bay leaf.
  2. While the lentils cook, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Add the warm lentils to the dressing and toss. Let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Fold in the red onion, parsley, mint, and raisins. Taste and adjust salt and acid. Scatter with walnuts just before serving.
