The Best Lentil Salad
  1. Add the lentils and water to a large pot and bring to a boil.

  2. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender but not mushy.

  3. Drain and rinse under cold water so they stop cooking and cool fast. Add them to a large bowl.

  4. Chop the cucumber, red onion, red pepper and parsley and add them to the bowl with the lentils.

  5. Whisk all dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake until well combined.

  6. Pour the dressing over the lentils and vegetables and stir everything together.

  7. Stir in the feta, if using, and serve over a bed of arugula or baby spinach, if desired. You can also simply mix the greens into the salad.
