With lots of lentils still in stock and hot weather on the way, here’s a recipe for marinated lentil salad with lemon garlic dressing:
1 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano or a couple of tablespoon fresh
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
1 cup dry brown lentils
1/2 cup or so chopped and rinsed and dried fresh parsley
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 small red onion finely diced
2 oz. feta cheese
Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add rinsed lentils and boil until tender – 20 minutes or so. Drain and rinse to cool. Zest the lemon for 1 Tbsp of zest. Juice the lemon for 1/4 cup lemon juice. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper (freshly ground if possible).
Combine all ingredients and serve or refrigerate to serve later.
Keep cool!
’til next time,
Brenda
