Rinse the Lentils under cold water.
Combine the Lentils and Water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain and let cool.
While the lentils are cooling, prepare the Vegetables by chopping them as indicated.
In a small bowl, whisk together all Dressing ingredients until emulsified.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled Lentils, Vegetables, and Dressing. Toss gently to coat.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or chill for later.
