Rinse the quinoa and place in a saucepan with two cups water and a teaspoon of olive oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Put the lentils in a saucepan with enough water to cover by about one inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, until lentils are tender but have not lost their shape. Drain and rinse with cool water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin.
In a large bowl combine the quinoa, lentils, and tomatoes. Pour on the dressing and stir to coat. Add the pepitas and stir again. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
Keep leftover salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for about 4 days.If you prefer, you can keep the dressing separately in the refrigerator and add it to each serving before you eat it. The quinoa will absorb the dressing and the salad may get dry if you mix it all up at the same time.
