Summer Lentil Salad

This is an interpretation of something I saw in the whole foods in Winter Park, FL while in town for the weekend. Very hardy, filling summer salad (or anytime of the year I guess).

Salad
1 c cooked and cooled lentils (cooked 20min in 2 c vegetable broth)
1 bunch steamed and cooled al dente brocolli
4-5 roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 bell pepper roughly chopped
1 cucumber chopped
4-6 spring onions chopped

Dressing
1/8 c olive oil
1/8 c hemp oil
zest of 1/2 lemon
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/8 c cider vinegar
1/8 c red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbs chopped fresh basil
2 cloves garlic finely chopped

Mix all ingredients, mix dressing and pour over. Mix salad well and refrigerate. tastes best on day two.
