Background

This lentil, cucumber and olive salad is really easy to create as it can be made using ready cooked or tinned lentils. If you don't have any, just cook a cup of green or brown lentils for 15 minutes (with a bay leaf and a garlic clove put in the cooking water), drain and cool before continuing with the recipe.
Serve it with toasted pita bread or wholesome rolls. Perfect for parties, picnics and lunch-boxes too!

Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsps sherry vinegar
2 tsp whole-grain mustard
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tin cooked lentils, drained
½ cucumber
1 handful pitted black olives, sliced
1 handful fresh mint, roughly chopped
50g feta cheese

Instructions

Mix the oil, vinegar, mustard and garlic. Season, taste and adjust to your liking.

Mix the lentils, cucumber, olives and mint in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Crumble the feta on top just before serving.
