While the lentils are cooking, dice the tomatoes, discarding the seeds, then put them in a salad bowl. Chop the scallions and dill, then add them to the bowl. Pour the Classic Vinaigrette over the salad. Add the remaining salt and pepper.
Drain the lentils, then toss them with the salad. Adjust the seasoning then serve.
The leftover salad is just as good cold, the next day.
