Mmmmm - yum! I think I'd put the olive oil on the lentils whilst
they're warm, let them suck up the flavour...

When I could tolerate pasta and rice salads I always put a vinaigrette on
them whilst warm for that reason then chill. The salads always had raw onion
and celery in them.

Thank You, I love stuff like this!!
