- Pour the lentils in a colander and leave to drain.
- Mix the lentils with garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Let the lentils marinade for a while, season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and vinegar. Mix in parsley and spring onions.
- For the salsa, mix red and yellow peppers, chillies, tomatoes and spring onions with lemon juice, cumin, coriander and garlic. Season the salsa with salt.
- Layer the lentil salad and salsa in large glasses, sprinkle the lettuce on top.
- Feta or pecorino also goes well with this spicy salad mix. Layer a few pieces of cheese between lentils and salsa to add an extra layer of flavour.
