Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup avocado, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instruction

  • Clean and rinse lentils, removing all rocks and broken beans. Set aside.
  • In a small pot, add the water and salt. Bring to a boil.
  • Add cleaned lentils and bring water back to a boil. Place a lid on the pot and lower the heat to low. Simmer for 40 to 45 minutes. You don’t want them to be mushy at all.
  • Remove from heat and drain all the water. Rinse beans under cold water, then place them in the fridge for an hour to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, mix the feta cheese, avocado, red onion, cilantro leaves and tomatoes.
  • Add lentils and mix well to combine all ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Pour dressing over lentils. Mix to combine.
  • Enjoy!
