Cumin-Scented French Lentil Salad Recipe

• 1 cup French lentilles du Puy
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 large carrot, finely diced
• 2 ribs celery, finely diced
• 1/2 cup finely diced red onions (about 1/2 a small onion)
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one large lemon
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, best quality
• 1 teaspoon honey

1. Combine lentils, chicken stock and bay leaf in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down and simmer until lentils are just tender, about 25 minutes (or about 20 minutes for common lentils). Strain and let cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients. Add cooled lentils and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
