large crown of broccoli, chopped coarse pieces

1 cup

scallions, chopped (use the green parts and the white parts)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

How to execute: only tricky part is boiling the lentils. Boil vigorously for 5 minutes. Drain and discard the water. Bring to a boil again with fresh water. Let the lentils cool down for ~10 minutes. This process usually will take the lentils to a state when they aren’t too soft, as we don’t want them to turn into a paste when mixed in the salad.

* Step 2

While the lentils are cooling down, mix the rest of the main ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Add the cooled down lentils to the large bowl with the main ingredients and mix well. Add the dressing from the small bowl to the large bowl.
