Step 1
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap & warm water.
Step 2
Place dry lentils in a mesh strainer. Filter through lentils and discard any non-lentil particles such as stones or grains. Rinse lentils under cold water until the draining water turns clear.
Step 3
Place clean lentils and 2 cups of water in a small saucepan and bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cook about 10-15 minutes or until lentils are soft but not mushy. Drain excess water through a mesh strainer. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
While the lentils are cooking and cooling, prep the remaining ingredients - rinse chickpeas, chop cucumber, sun dried tomatoes, onion, arugula, mince garlic, juice lemon, etc.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, add all the dressing ingredients. Whisk vigorously until well combined. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a small jar and seal tight. Shake vigorously to combine.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine all salad ingredients. Drizzle the dressing over salad and mx until well coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate for more intense flavor.
Step 7
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
