Cook up the lentils. Meanwhile, chop & toss together the Fire & Ice Cherry Tomatoes. Finish prepping the remaining ingredients for the lentils and toss altogether. If taking on the go, store separately or place the tomatoes on top of the lentils in a larger container.
The lightly dressed French lentils are inspired by Julia Child, as they use shallots, dijon and fresh herbs to enhance their flavor. French lentils have a slightly better integrity than the red or even brown lentils which become soft quickly. Regardless, avoid overcooking your lentils to avoid mush.
These cherry tomatoes first hit your tongue with a bright, vinegary spiciness and as you bite down these flavors meld with the candy sweetness of the tomatoes. Adjust the red pepper flakes as you like to avoid too much spice or more for extra heat. The red onions become one with the sauce, making them taste less like their astringent selves and more marinated & spicy. This salad does well marinating in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy it.
