Combine the lentils and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook covered for 4 minutes.
Add the frozen edamame to the saucepan with the lentils. Continue to simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape and the edamame is heated through, about 5 minutes more. Done when lentils are tender.
Drain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, shaking off as much water as possible. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool for 3 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped red onion. Pour the dressing over the warm lentil mixture. Fold in the diced cucumber and fresh parsley to combine.
