Banana Lentil Salad



This was served in the cafeteria at work and I just loved it. Before the head chef moved on, I asked if I could have the recipe. I don't fully understand what it means to "par cook" lentils, but I just boiled them until they were done and it seemed to work fine.

2 cups lentils par cook with salt and pepper until just done. Cool rapidly
3 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 ea. Red onion slightly sauté your vegetables
1 ea. Red bell pepper combine with the rest and chill
1 Tbsp. Garlic minced
2 Tbsp. Chopped Parsley
3 Tbsp. Chopped cilantro
3 ea. Ripe bananas chopped
¼ c. Balsamic Vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1 ea. Roasted jalapeno (peeled and seeded)
