Lemony Lentil Salad with Feta is a bright, hearty bowl with tender lentils, crisp vegetables, fresh dill, and a tangy lemon dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or adjust to taste
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 15-ounce cans lentils, drained and rinsed, or 3 cups cooked brown or green lentils
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled, about 4 ounces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeds removed and diced, about 1 cup
  • 1 cup diced seedless cucumber
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, chopped dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper with a whisk.
  2. Pour in the extra-virgin olive oil a little at a time, whisking until the dressing looks smooth and lightly blended.
  3. Add the lentils, crumbled feta, diced red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion to the bowl.
  4. Gently toss everything together until the lentils and vegetables are coated with the lemony dill dressing.
  5. Taste the salad and adjust with more salt or pepper, if needed, before serving.

Notes

  • For the best texture, drain the lentils well before adding them to the bowl.
  • This salad can be prepared ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
  • Serve with whole-wheat pitas, if desired.
