Lentil Salad with Veggie Melange

From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com.

1 1/4 cups lentils (about 1/2 pound)
water and 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
freshly ground peppercorns
3-4 large red radishes
1-2 ribs celery
5-6 green onions
lettuce leaves

Place the lentils in a sieve and wash under cold running water. Cover with enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook covered for about 25-30 minutes. In meantime, in measuring cup whisk together the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. In food processor or with a sharp chef knife, cut the radishes, celery, and green onions into a fine dice. When lentils are tender, drain thoroughly and place into a bowl. Allow to cool. Stir in the dressing and the veggie melange. Serve!
