1. Mix all ingredients together then toss with dressing. Let marinade in dressing for 1/2 an hour or more. Makes great leftovers too.

Lentils are a Super Food. They're high in essentials and are second only to Soybeans as far as having the most complete proteins in the vegetable kingdom. Other legumes fall far behind. I serve this cold or room temperature. I'm not sure how the cucumbers would fare if the lentils were hot. It's even better the next day.
