I love a nice simple tasty salad like that GH, this I shall try! This may be a good pairing with a Grape Pickers Skillet, can't go wrong with bacom, chicken, leeks, potatoes and cheese ( drizzle a little mustard dressing on the 'taters) -->Yo grow Bro's and Babes I graduated from the CIA about 9 years ago, CIA stands for the Culinary Institute of America. This is a favorite cold salad of mine. Just be careful with the onions they can over power the crap out of it. Make a vinaigrette by whisking the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey and mustard together. Be gentle with the lentils. Lightly simmer until they are al dente in the middle, then drain and mix together.
I hear you on red onions, some are just too gnarly concentrated, even bitter-ish,... it's sweet onions I'll swap out on occasion when I don't want the reds slapping the rest of the flavors around- .... another trick a Mexican gal shared with me is to soak the sliced onion in lemon or lime juice for a bit, makes for a delish' little tangy zip to them!
