- 2 cups whole wheat rotini pasta
- 2 cups water
- 2/3 cup lentils, picked over and rinsed
- Dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced green olives with pimientos
- 6 green onions, sliced
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rotini in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cool water and drain well.
- In the meantime, bring 2 cups water and lentils to a boil in a medium pot. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender yet firm to the bite, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove lentils from the water using a slotted spoon.
- Whisk olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, mustard, and pepper together for the dressing while pasta and lentils are cooking.
- Mix the cooled pasta and lentils with red bell pepper, olives, and green onions. Whisk dressing again and pour over the salad. Mix gently with a large spoon.
