Beluga Lentil Salad With Avocado, Apple And Summer Herbs

• Cook the Beluga Lentils
• 1 cup beluga lentils, rinsed
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Prepare salad ingredients
• 3/4 cup loosely packed parsley, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 medium red sweet pepper, chopped
• 1 ripe avocado, chopped
• juice of one lemon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

1. Combine the ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer; and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Remove lentils from heat and drain through a fine-mesh sieve. Rinse thoroughly in cold water and shake the sieve a few times to remove excess moisture.
3. While the lentils cook, combine all remaining salad ingredients in a medium size bowl. Stir well to combine and let them sit until the lentils are ready.
4. Add the drained, cooled lentils and toss a few times with a spoon to combine thoroughly. Enjoy!
