Ingredients
-
A small watermelon (or a few large slices).
3-5 mint leaves.
1/4 of a jalapeno (seeded)
1 Persian cucumber (skin on)
Directions
Cook lentils and set aside. (I cook them a day in advance and chill.)
Dice the watermelon into 1" chunks
Dice the jalapeno into tiny bits.
Slice the Persian cucumber into quarters lengthwise, then dice.
Mince 3-5 mint leaves
Toss with 1/2 cup of barely cooked green lentils. That's it. No dressing. You won't need it.
I sometimes substitute feta cheese for the lentils. That works well, too.
