Spiced Lentils And Cantaloupe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 ripe cantaloupe, diced into very small chunks
1/2 cup lentils
1/4 cup minced red pepper
1 scallion, minced (including green part)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

Drain lentils and let cool.
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl, mix very gently to combine.
