Method
- Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil.
- Place the tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and sliced olives in a large mixing bowl.
- Rinse the lentils and sort through them to remove any debris. When the water is boiling, add the lentils and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the same pot and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the dressing ingredients together in a bowl and whisk them, or in a small jar and shake the dressing. Add it to the vegetables in the large bowl.
- After the lentils and pasta have cooked together for 10 minutes, you can try them by pulling out a little with a slotted spoon and rinsing them under cold water. Both should be soft enough to eat, but not mushy. Drain the lentils and pasta together in a colander and rinse with cold water.
- Add the pasta and lentil mixture and the dressing to the large bowl of vegetables and mix everything together well. Top with the slices of fresh basil.
