Use the dry mustard if possible. It adds a level of flavor that dijon won't. Make several hours ahead to allow the flavors to marry. I served it room temp and had it the next day cold. Both were great.
Ingredients
- 1 cup green or brown lentils, picked over and washed shopping list
- 2 cups water shopping list
- ¾ cup chopped scallions shopping list
- 1 red bell pepper, diced shopping list

How to make it
- 1. Combine lentils with water and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium-low, cover pan tightly, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until lentils are cooked through but firm enough to hold shape.
- 2. When lentils are done, remove from heat, drain, and place in bowl along with scallions, red pepper, parsley, and walnuts, sweet potato & bitter greens
- 3. In separate small bowl, combine mustard with vinegar, beating in a little at a time until thoroughly blended. Gradually beat in olive oil.
- 4. You won't need all the dressing - about 3/4 of the total is what I used. Pour dressing over lentils and toss to mix thoroughly. Add salt and black pepper and serve.
