Preparation steps

1.

Place the lentils in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Place in a saucepan with water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until al dente, 8-13 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the carrots and add to the lentils 3-4 minutes before they're done.

2.

Peel and finely chop the onions. Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion until translucent. Drain the lentils and carrots and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the onions, lemon juice, cumin, oil and chopped mint and season with salt and pepper.

3.

Let the salad stand at least 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. Season to taste and serve garnished with mint.
