Notes
Brown lentils: This is 2½ cups cooked lentils. See instructions above if using dried lentils. For the cans, make sure you drain them well so that you don’t have a soggy salad with a diluted dressing.
Pomegranate: To remove the seeds, use your paring knife to remove the flower from the top. Cutting at an angle, remove a cone of pith from below the flower without cutting into the seeds. Score the sides and open it up. You should be able to remove all the seeds with ease.
