You're bringing together protein-packed lentils with hard-boiled eggs and tuna for a hearty, high-protein salad that comes together in about 40 minutes. The main thing to watch is cooking the lentils gently so they stay tender without turning mushy, and mixing everything carefully so they keep their texture. The rest is mostly chopping, stirring, and seasoning to taste.

Cook the eggs and lentils
Hard-boil the eggs. Cook both types of lentils until tender – ideally without letting them turn mushy. Cook them in salted water. I started by cooking the brown lentils first, and once they were almost tender, added the red lentils.

Gently mix and add the tuna
Gently combine the eggs and lentils in a bowl. Why gently? So the cooked lentils don't turn into mush. Add the tuna along with its oil.
