Drain, remove and discard the bay leaves, and transfer the lentils to a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Cook the carrots, onion and garlic, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
- Add the carrot mixture to the reserved lentils and toss with the vinegar, oil, and parsley. Divide the arugula and endive among 4 plates and spoon the lentil salad on top of the greens. The lentil salad can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
