Preparation

Put the lentils in a colander, rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. Deseed and finely dice the pepper. Finely dice the onion, quarter the tomatoes and chop the parsley.
Fry the ham in a dry pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side until crisp. Transfer it to paper towels, let it cool and break it into pieces.
Vigorously whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper with a fork in a large bowl until the dressing is lightly emulsified.
Add lentils, pepper, onion, tomatoes and parsley. Toss gently and leave for 10 minutes.
Divide between plates and add the crisp ham only just before serving.
