Method

Put lentils and 3 cups water into a small pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes.

Drain, rinse in cold water and drain again.

Meanwhile, bring 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small pot then pour over couscous in a large, heatproof bowl, cover and set aside for 10 minutes.

Uncover, add oil and fluff with a fork.

Set aside to let cool, then add cooked lentils, arugula and tomatoes and toss gently to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together pesto, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Just before serving, drizzle pesto mixture over salad and toss to coat.
