Lentil and Feta Cheese Salad

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Rinse the lentils and check them for small stones. Combine in a saucepan with 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently until done but still firm, about 30 minutes. Check frequently toward the end of cooking time to make sure the lentils don’t become overcooked. Drain any excess water from the lentils, and rinse until cooled.

   Step 2

   Combine the lentils with the remaining ingredients in a serving bowl and toss together. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
