Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2/3 cup lentils, green (dried)
- 1 small cucumber (diced (1 small cucumber is about 2 cups))
- 1 cup tomatoes (cherry; halved)
- 1/2 cup olives (kalamata; halved, pitted)
- 1 small onion (red; diced (1 small onion is about 1 cup))
- 2 tbsp dill (fresh; minced)
- 1/4 cup parsley (fresh; minced)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled (optional, leave out to make vegan or dairy free))
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp oregano (dried)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper (black)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice ((about 1/2 a lemon))
Instruction
- In a medium size saucepan, combine the broth and lentils over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Once lentils are cool, combine with cucumber, tomatoes, olives, onion, dill, parsley, and feta (if using) in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Close and shake until well-combined.
- Pour dressing over the lentil mixture, and toss to coat. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
