Green Lentil and Bulgur Salad

• 1/2 cup green lentils, preferably French

3. Drain the lentils and allow to cool.
4. In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil, stir in the bulgur and simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes.

6. In a large bowl whisk together olive oil and lemon juice.
7. Stir in garlic, scallions, roasted red pepper, olives, parsley, salt and pepper.
