2. Dump lentils into a colander and let drain about 15 minutes, then toss with 1 T each of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar.
3. Let lentils marinate in this mixture while you prepare other ingredients. (If you have plenty of time, marinate the lentils 20-30 minutes, but even a few minutes of marinating will add to the flavor.
