Our first foray into lentils... inspired by the great Alton Brown... and I like what I tasted. Though anything simmered with onion and tossed with bacon can't be bad, right? haha. Needless to say, they're tasty, hearty, and healthy... definitely something worth trying! Lentil Salad Makes 6-8 servings. Recipe from Alton Brown. Ingredients 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves 6 to 8 slices thick-sliced bacon, cooked and chopped 1 pound brown or green lentils, approximately 2 1/2 cups 1 small onion, halved 1 large clove garlic, halved 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 pound salt pork, optional 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions Whisk the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt, pepper, parsley and thyme together in a large mixing bowl.
