Ingredients
2 cups lentils
5 cups water
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
White pepper to taste
1 ⅓ cup olive oil
1 pound cold flank steak, cooked medium to medium-rare and cut into bite-size pieces
2 bunches watercress (about 6 cups), stems removed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup minced scallions
¼ cup drained capers
¼ cup chopped sweet pickles
Preparation
- Step 1
Place the lentils and the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, partly covered, until the lentils are barely tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and white pepper. Add the olive oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly until the mixture is emulsified.
- Step 3
In a large serving bowl, toss together the steak, lentils, watercress, garlic, scallions, capers and sweet pickles with the dressing.

I made much too much for a party -- can it be frozen???
This is actually a pretty good recipe, but it does need salt.
