Rinse green lentils and finely dice the shallot and carrot on a cutting board.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the sausage 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and internal juices run clear.

Drain excess lentil liquid, then toss with diced shallot, carrot, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
