    This is a lovely cold (and healthy!) salad. Make the day before for best results.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup lentils
    • 1/2 red pepper (about 1/2 cup), finely chopped
    • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
    • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
    • 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
    • 4oz Feta, crumbled (about ¾-1cup)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

    Directions

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