Lentil Feta Salad
Time: 10 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook
Servings: 4
Directions
- Place lentils in a large pot with enough water to cover plus about an inch or two beyond that.
- Bring to a boil, and cook until lentils are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain and rinse with cold water in a colander. Let stand for a few minutes to drain well and cool off a bit.
- Finely chop all veggies, put in bowl and add Feta.
- In a separate bowl whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Once lentils have cooled a bit (they don't need to be completely cold) add them to the bowl with the veggies.
- Pour in olive oil/lemon juice mixture and mix well.
- Allow to sit in fridge a few hours at least before serving.
