Instructions
-
Soak the black Beluga lentils for at least two hours. Then cook them in salted water for 10 minutes, so they're firm but cooked.

Slice the cherry tomatoes and cucumber into half moons, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the olives.
-
The last step is the vinaigrette: lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic granules. Mix it in with the lentils, vegetables and chopped olives. Crumble over the feta, and if you like it crunchy, you can add some chopped almonds too.
