Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the lentils, tuna, black olives, sun-dried tomato, bell pepper, feta cheese, parsley, capers and chili peppers.Note: You can break up the canned tuna a bit before adding to the salad. I prefer chunkier pieces, but you can break up a little more if you like.
- In a jar, whisk together the shallot with olive oil and lemon juice until well incorporated. I didn't add any salt or black pepper to the vinaigrette because the salad itself has salty ingredients, but you can add some to taste if you wish.Tip: If using lemon zest (as in Step 4 below), always zest your lemon before juicing (it's easier to get the zest from the lemon that way).
- Pour vinaigrette over bowl of tuna lentil salad. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish, then sprinkle over lemon zest (if using). Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk together the mustard and tapenade in a small bowl.
- Add the vinegar and olive oil and whisk until the vinaigrette is well blended.
- Pour the dressing over the lentils and stir to blend.
- If you want to use the whole lemon, finely chop it; if you are using just the rind, cut it away from the pulp, discard the pulp, and chop the rind into small bits (Dorie uses the whole lemon).
- Stir the lemon and scallions into the salad.
- Drain the tuna and use a fork to flake it over the salad.
- Season very lightly with salt and generously with pepper, and toss.
- Taste, and if you think it needs it, stir in a little more olive oil.
- Can serve the salad now; bit it is better if you cover it and chill for a couple of hours, giving the flavors time to blend.
- Right before serving, taste again for seasonings and oil.

MEDITERRANEAN LENTIL SALAD
Here's a summery lentil salad topped with tomatoes, roasted peppers and feta, garnished with hard-cooked eggs, anchovy fillets and good canned tuna. Studded with olives and sprinkled with oregano, it's a sort-of niçoise salad by way of Greece, an easy main course suitable for a picnic or a no-fuss make-ahead supper.

Steps:
- Cook the lentils: Rinse and put in a medium saucepan. Cover with 4 cups water and add bay leaf, thyme sprig and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently with lid ajar for 20 to 25 minutes, until lentils are tender. Set pot aside and let cool to room temperature.
- Put the potatoes in another saucepan, cover with water and add a heaping teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to brisk simmer. Cook about 15 minutes, until cooked through when probed with a paring knife. Drain and set aside. (If desired, use a paring knife to remove skins from potatoes while still warm.) Cut in halves or quarters.
- While lentils cook, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together vinegar and garlic. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil. Taste and adjust. Stir in oregano.
- Put the cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Drain onion slices, and add to the tomatoes along with roasted pepper strips. Season with salt, then add half the vinaigrette (well whisked). Toss to coat.
- To assemble salad, drain lentils and transfer to a large low, wide bowl or platter and let cool for 10 minutes. Add remaining vinaigrette, sprinkle with a little salt and toss gently. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Top lentils with tomato-onion-pepper mixture. Arrange anchovy fillets, tuna (if using) and eggs on top. Sprinkle with mint and parsley. Arrange halved or quartered potatoes around the perimeter. Garnish with basil leaves, olives and feta. Sprinkle a pinch of oregano over the salad.

- 1. Fill a medium pot halfway with cold water. Add carrot, celery, onion, lentils, peppercorns, and red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil. 2. Place the tomatoes into a strainer to drain; discard liquid. Set aside.
- 3. Check the lentils after about 20 minutes, although they may need closer to 30 minutes. Not all lentils cook in the same amount of time, so you will need to taste one. They should be slightly al dente, not mushy and falling apart but not hard. When the lentils are almost done, add 1 teaspoon coarse salt. Stir.
- 4. Drain the lentils, rinsing in cold water to stop the cooking. Pick out and discard the carrot, celery, and onion. Place lentils into a large bowl.
- 5. Add drained tomatoes and tuna with its oil. Add the thyme, cayenne, olive oil, and vinegar. Stir. Season to taste with more coarse salt, at least ½ teaspoon.
