This lentil salad is crisp, fresh, and light with diced cucumber, red onion, dates, fresh herbs, and a bright lemon vinaigrette. Bonus — it's durable enough to last in your fridge for the week.

Instructions
- Cook the lentils. In a medium saucepan, add the lentils, water, and bay leaf. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to very low, cover the pot, and simmer for 16 to 20 minutes. The lentils should be soft but not at all mushy.
- Assemble the salad. Drain the lentils, and chill them in the fridge for a few minutes. Then, add the diced cucumber, red onion, dates, and parsley.
- Add the dressing. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette on top and toss it all together.
