Stage 1 - 5 min.
Cut 400 g cooked meat into small chunks. You can use any leftover meat (beef, chicken, pork...), or even a mixture.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Stage 3 - 30 min.
Boil 500 g green lentils in a large quantity of salted water. When cooked (tender), drain thoroughly.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
Add the lentils to the bowl, then add the chopped parsley and 10 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette). Stir round well and it's ready.

This is even better if the lentils are still warm. Serve straight after the final mixing, if possible.
