SMOKED SALMON AND LENTIL SALAD

Steps:

• Combine water, lentils, and bouquet garni in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender but still firm and there is only a little excess cooking liquid in the pan, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let lentils cool in the pan. Discard bouquet garni.
• Cut salmon into small strips, no longer than 1/2 inch long. Place in a large bowl with onion and chives. Add cooled lentils.
• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Add to the lentil mixture and stir until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate until flavors have blended, 2 to 3 hours.
