Apple and Burnt Tomatoes
In a medium saucepan, combine the green lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they are blistered and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled lentils, diced apple, burnt tomatoes, chopped red onion, and parsley. Toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
