Ingredients
Instructions
Sift through the dried lentils and pick out any small stones or stray bits. Rinse the lentils in a fine mesh sieve under cold running water.
Add the lentils, water and bay leaf in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered for about 20 to 30 minutes or until tender.
Drain and remove the bay leaf.
Place the cooked lentils, cucumbers, scallions, tomatoes, parsley, basil and mint in a salad bowl and toss to combine.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt and black pepper together. Slowly, whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion.
Pour the desired amount of dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables. Add the feta cheese and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently and serve.
