For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the red peppers instead of roasting them. To make ahead, prepare all the components separately and combine just before serving. This prevents the salad from becoming soggy. If you don't have French green lentils (also known as Le Puy lentils), you can substitute with brown or green lentils, but be mindful of the cooking time, as they may require slightly longer. Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference and what's in season. Cucumber, zucchini, or sun-dried tomatoes would all be delicious additions. The vinaigrette can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
