1. 1

   Wash the green lentils and boil them with water covering them until tender, then drain.

2. 2

   Transfer the boiled lentils to a mixing bowl and let them cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Finely chop the green onions and parsley, and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

4. 4

   Add the chopped greens and tomatoes to the cooled lentils.

5. 5

   Prepare the dressing in a separate bowl by whisking olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes.

Note. Adding a few drops of lemon juice to the water while boiling lentils prevents them from falling apart.
