LENTIL SALAD
Need to shed some of the holiday kilos? I would suggest this! Make a batch. Keep in fridge. Take some to work to keep you away from local takeaways. You can choose what you want to put in this salad.
1 x 400g tin lentils, drained and rinsed
1 chopped fresh carrot
¼ cup chopped red onion
½ cup chopped peppers (red, green or red or mixture)
¼ cup chopped cucumber
1 can chopped tomato
2 handfuls chopped fresh herbs or half tsp each dried. I used oregano, parsley and basil
1 round of Feta, crumbled
1 handful chopped Calamata olives, optional
zest and juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
Place the drained and rinsed lentils in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and taste, add more seasoning if necessary.
