Onion cut into semi-rings, carrots to grate on a coarse grater. Sauté the vegetables until tender in small amount of vegetable oil.

Lentils to boil in salted water on low heat for 7-10 minutes. Drain in a colander.

In a salad bowl put the vegetables, lentils, seeds, salt and all the spices. Season the salad with oil, mix well. When serving, garnish with greens of your choice ( I got cilantro). Spices do not change, they give up their uniqueness and originality salad.
