Ingredients
Directions
- 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.
- While the lentils cook, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the warm lentils to the dressing and toss. Let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Fold in the red onion, parsley, mint, and raisins. Taste and adjust salt and acid. Scatter with walnuts just before serving.
