A fusion dish of French de Puy lentils and Middle Eastern tabbouleh ingredients is a mix of some of my favorite ingredients. I add fresh pomegranate seeds and pomegranate molasses for a flavor pop that contrasts with the earthy lentils. Plus, If you are gluten-free, this lentil salad is a way to still eat a tabbouleh-like dish.
