Ingredients

  1. 3 cups water
  2. 1 ½ cups dry lentils
  3. 1 bouquet garni
  4. 10 ounces smoked salmon, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine water, lentils, and bouquet garni in a large saucepan; bring to a boil.

Remove from the heat and let lentils cool in the pan. Discard bouquet garni.
  2. Cut salmon into small strips, no longer than 1/2 inch long. Place in a large bowl with onion and chives. Add cooled lentils.
  3. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Add to the lentil mixture and stir until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate until flavors have blended, 2 to 3 hours.
  4. The age of the lentils and their water content will make cooking times vary, up to one hour could be necessary.
