Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 14-ounce can lentils rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 3 radishes thinly sliced
  • ½ cup parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mint finely chopped
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra-virgin
  • 2 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the lentils, arugula, cucumber, radishes, parsley, mint, and pumpkin seeds to a large serving bowl. Gently toss to combine and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil until fully combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again until everything is evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top just before serving. Garnish with additional mint and serve.

Notes

  • Rinsing canned lentils well helps remove excess sodium and keeps the salad tasting clean.
  • This salad can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Add the feta just before serving for the best texture.
  • Serve as a side dish, light lunch, or alongside grilled vegetables or flatbread.
