Lentil Salad

I am not sure in which magazine or in what city I found it, but there was an article about Mark Bittman, a person who apparently writes cookbooks. His new book is about eating a plant based diet at least until dinner time. This recipe was provided to whet your appetite. And it was tasty...

Ingredients: 
1 TBSP Dijon mustard
2 TBSP any wine or sherry vinegar
4 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp salt + more to taste
Black pepper to taste
4 cups canned lentils, drained
3 large, ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or dill (we used dill) 

Directions: 
Mix mustard, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons water; whisk until well combined. 
Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss until coated with dressing. Season to taste. (We actually added a little more Dijon!)
