Lentil Salad with Feta Cheese

Great ideas posted, I added olives and some of the brine, capers and some chopped shallots as well as a tbls of balsamic vinegar., Made it for a healthy meal one night while DH was out of town. Yummy and quick and easy.

A good salad for a packed lunch. I have made it twice once with beluga (black) lentils and once green lentils. Both worked great. I like them more for salads than brown lentils because they keep their shape. Also a good recipe to use as base for many other flavor combinations like roasted red peppers, olives and capers.

Not bad...I needed a side for CL Tomato and Feta Pizza, and this seemed to fit the bill. I omitted the olives, used sun-dried tomatoes, added some sweet onion and "guesstimated" the proportions as I scaled back the recipe quite a bit, but the combination of flavors was pleasing. I didn't mind the thyme as another reviewer did; I wonder what it would taste like with dill instead. This would be good as a side or as a main dish.

It was a very good salad but I prefere it with some red onions and no thyme.

Super fast and delicious! Didn't have cucumber but per other reviewer added olives (kalamata). Also roasted some red peppers and added those (chopped). I didn't think it looked exceptionally pretty when finished. In fact, when my husband didn't comment during dinner, I assumed he wasn't a big fan. However, after dinner (and his second helping), he said that he really loved it. This will be on the summer go-to list for sure.

I also made this with red onion, and left out the celery (not a big celery fan). I think it is tasty and a great bag lunch recipe. I will definitely make it again.

Pretty darn good! I added finely chopped red onion and some chopped black olives. It's a very Greek style recipe, looks lovely, and would be good to scoop up in toasted pita wedges. This is a real keeper and a good Summer side salad.
