Lentil salad -- (from Anny St. Yves)

2 c lentils, dry
lemon juice
2 medium onions
paprika
1 bunch parsley
cayenne pepper
olive oil

Clean lentils of foreign objects. Wash thoroughly with lots of water. Boil lentils with lots of water and 1 of the onions (whole but peeled) for ~ 30 minutes. Check for doneness. Drain.

Chop other onion. Add ~ 1 tsp salt. Squish together with hands and rinse with water in a strainer. Let drain (removes bitter taste from onion).

Chop Parsley leaves - wash.

Combine lentils, parsley, chopped onion, oil, lemon, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste (it takes quite a bit of oil ~ ½ c - I use ½ and ½ olive oil and vegetable oil or corn oils)
