Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup dried green lentil
3 3/4 cups water, divided
1/2 cup couscous
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups packed baby arugula leaves (about 2 oz)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Put lentils and 3 cups water into a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water and drain again.
Meanwhile, bring remaining 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small pot then pour over couscous in a large, heatproof bowl, cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Uncover, add oil and fluff with a fork. Set aside to let cool, then add cooked lentils, arugula and tomatoes and toss gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together pesto, vinegar, salt and pepper. Just before serving, drizzle pesto mixture over salad and toss to coat.
