Ingredients:

  • 2 (32-ounce) containers vegetable stock
  • 2½ tablespoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 (1-pound) Camellia Brand Lentils, rinsed and sorted
  • 2 cups chopped fresh collard greens
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 cup Castelvetrano olives, chopped
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup cucumber, seeded and diced
  • 1 (4-ounce) jar pimientos, drained
