Serves 8
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups dried lentils
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced (about 4 tablespoons lemon juice)
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander or ground cumin (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 of a watermelon peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4 cups)

Directions:
- Rinse lentils in a strainer under cold running water, take out any dirt or rocks. Cover lentils with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn heat to low and cook, covered, until soft, about 17 to 20 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan. Let sit at room temperature until cooled.
