Lentil And Yogurt Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup dry lentils, rinsed (I used green)
6 cups water
2 cups nonfat yogurt (original has 6 cups!)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch cayenne
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Place lentils and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
The following is for green lentils, other kinds of lentils take less time to cook. So check your package directions. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender but not mushy.
Drain and allow to cool.
Place cooled lentils in a mixing bowl and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Suggested to serve immediately but I think it's better after sitting.
