Vegan Lentil and Rice Salad

A friend of mine at work is on a vegan cleanse, so I made this for a healthy potluck lunch. It was a huge hit, even with the non-vegans.  The lentils, nuts and seeds made it extremely hearty and filling.  I sorted through a lot of vegan recipes on Epicurious to find this one and it's a winner.  I made it without the almonds at home too.
