Directions
Rinse lentils and discard any pebbles. Place lentils, onion, garlic and bay leaf in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1".
Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until lentils are tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
Add liquid as needed; liquid should be absorbed when lentils are done.
Discard onion, garlic and bay leaf. Whisk vinegar, oil and salt together in a small bowl. Pour over warm lentils and toss. Before serving, season with pepper and additional salt, if necessary.
Serve warm.
