Place the lentils, salt and warm water in a bowl. Let sit for 1 hour to brine the lentils. This makes soft pliable perfect lentils. After one hour, drain and add to an oven safe saucepan with lid.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Add all of these ingredients to the drained lentils. Cook covered in oven for 40-60 mins. Check for doneness after 40 mins. When cooked, drain well and remove the onion, garlic cloves and bay leaf.
Meanwhile, place the bulgur wheat in a medium bowl, and add salt to taste. Cover with 2 cups hot or boiling water, and allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes until most of the water is absorbed. Drain through a strainer and squeeze out the water.
Whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, cumin, salt, pepper, and the olive oil.
Combine the lentils, bulgur wheat, scallions, radishes, parsley and mint in a large bowl or salad bowl. Pour dressing over the top and mix to combine. Enjoy!
