Step 1

Using a microwave: Set the microwave to 1000w. 4 medium potatoes will need roughly 10 minutes cooking. Depending on amount and size of the potatoes you'll have to reduce or add a couple of minutes of microwaving. If you use the stove, cook the potatoes in salty boiling water for 20 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

Dice up the onion and cut the bell pepper into small pieces. Add both to a salad bowl.

Step 3

Mix in the lentils (previously drained and rinsed; if you use dry lentils, cook according to package instructions first).

Step 4

Rip up the parsley and add it to the bowl as well.

Step 5

Now in with the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper and stir it all nicely.

Step 6

Now assemble the salad with the cooked potatoes. Enjoy!
