This is a great quick and healthy dish for those warm summer nights. In fact, this is so fast the only cooking required is a quick pan-toasting of walnuts. It's all about making an easy dressing, slicing crisp, summer vegetables like radish and cucumber and tossing everything together in a bowl. Adding lentils provides some protein and texture - voila!
