Steps:
- Place the lentils, whole crushed garlic cloves, onion half and bay leaf in a large, heavy saucepan and cover by 1 inch with water. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender but still firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and allow the lentils to cool for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion. Remove the garlic cloves and squeeze the cooked garlic out of the skins and back into the lentils. Drain off any liquid remaining in the pot.
- Transfer the lentils to a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt to taste, cumin, chili powder or Aleppo pepper, freshly ground pepper and olive oil. Toss with the lentils. Add the remaining ingredients and toss together. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
