Recipe for a warm, French lentil salad

Last summer we chatted about Pimm's Cups and a list of things I wanted to do, feel, eat, and read during those few short months.  But by its very nature, summer shouldn't warrant a list: it's a time when lists should ideally be thrown out the window and a little bit of whimsy should take the reigns. But I know so many of you can relate to the way in which weeks and months can whoosh on by and before you know it, peaches are out of season and the days are getting shorter. And for that reason, I tend to make summer lists.  So here we have this year's version. I so encourage you to make your own and share one or two or all of them here. I'd love to hear yours. Truly.
