2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
garlic, salt and pepper as you like

Method

1. Cut peppers in big chunks (1/8), roast until skin gets dark
2. Let pepper chunks cool down, remove skin and cut flesh in smaller pieces
3. Cook lentils for 10 min in boiling water, drain them
4. Mix pepper, lentils, onion and cucumber
5. Pour dressing over salad and stir well
6. Keep 4 hours in refrigerator for better taste
7. Put lettuce on a plate, fill lettuce bed with the allowed amount of salad

The first time I tried this recipe I added chopped raw pepper instead of roasted. I also crunched my seeds and added them to one portion. And I was in a hurry so I did not wait 4 hours but ate the salad with warm lentils.
