6 tablespoons olive oil
5 scallions chopped, white and green parts

4. Fold in the lentils and pine nuts and let the salad rest for at least an hour.
5. Season to taste with salt, pepper and additional vinegar if desired.
6. Serve topped with fresh tomato or tuck into Boston lettuce for a salad cup.
