- Place the brown lentils in a saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender but maintain their shape, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils with the chopped apples, cubed carrots, chopped chives, and fresh parsley.
- In a separate cup, stir together the olive oil, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the lentil mixture, mix well, and serve.
