    Lentils are a wonderful source of plant protein and fibre. They are low in calories and digest slowly, releasing their energy over a long period of time. Lentils were traditionally eaten all across Europe, they’re a super versatile vegetable as they work well in soups and warm dishes as well as cold in salads. This salad is great as an addition to a BBQ or can be eaten on its own as a filling lunch.

    Puy Lentil Salad - Greek Style

    Method

    • Ahead of time: bring the lentils to the boil, allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
    • Replace the cooking water and bring back to a simmer and allow to cook until a few lentils start to float and they’re soft with still a little crunch.
    • Drain and put away to cool.
    • When you’re ready to eat, wash and prep your vegetables.
    • Cut the cucumber straight down the middle and then again each half, and chop into bite size chunks.
    • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
    • Finely slice the red onion.
    • Mix everything together in a large bowl, add the lentils and olives, mix again.
    • Now, add the vinegar (about 2 Tbsp), olive oil, salt & pepper.
    • Finally, crumble the feta cheese over the salad, and finish off by sprinkling the parsley over as you’re serving.
