Step 1

Step 1 – Place the lentils in a fine mesh strainer and rinse them thoroughly to remove any debris. Place the lentils in a medium sized pot. Add the water (or chicken broth), the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes (see note). Add the diced carrots and cook for 5 more minutes, until the lentils and carrots are tender. Strain, remove bay leaf and let cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Step 2 – Once the lentils are cooled, add the chopped shallot, parsley, thyme, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine. Lastly, add the cheese and gently toss to combine.
