  1. Combine 4 cups boiling water and bouillon cube in a saucepan until dissolved, add lentils and cook over medium heat until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain excess water.

  3. Combine lentils, bulgur, onion, and parsley in a large bowl.

  4. Mix chicken broth, red wine vinegar, cider vinegar, mustard, olive oil, garlic, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, basil, cumin, salt, hot sauce, and black pepper in a jar. Cover jar with tight-fitting lid and shake until dressing is well-mixed. Pour dressing over lentil mixture and mix well, top with scallions.
