2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup each finely diced radish, red, yellow and green bell pepper
1/3 cup mustard vinaigrette

- Bring the broth to a boil. Add the lentils and bring them back to a boil. again. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered just until the color of lentils changes, about 6 or 7 minutes only.

- Right before serving, toss with the parsley and serve as a bed for the chili scallops.
