Remove the lentils from the freezer and add them to a large bowl. Pour in the oil and vinegar and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the garlic, onion, tomatoes, and cucumber.
Stir in the garbanzo beans, dill, salt, and pepper and mix again. Cool for 10 minutes in the fridge and serve.

Notes

Use ripe, in-season produce: This Mediterranean chopped salad only uses a handful of ingredients—most of which are fresh produce—so make them count.
For quick prep time: Use tools like a mandoline or food chopper, if you have them, to speed up veggie chopping time.
For a milder onion taste: Leave the chopped onion to soak in ice water for 10 minutes, pat it dry, then add to the salad.
