    METHOD

    To make the salad, place the lentils in a colander, rinse with cold water, and drain. Peel the cucumber, then cut it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and cut into cubes. Quarter the tomato, remove the core and seeds, and finely chop. Thinly slice the celery. Remove the leaves from the herb stalks and finely chop. Dates should be cut into small pieces. The shallot and garlic should be peeled and finely chopped. In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the shallot over medium heat before adding the garlic. Allow the mixture to cool before combining it with the prepared ingredients in a mixing bowl.

    To make the dressing, combine the lime juice, oil, salt, pepper, cumin, allspice, agave syrup, and harissa in a mixing bowl. Toss the salad in the bowl with the dressing. Allow to infuse for at least 30 minutes before tasting and adjusting seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired
