 As a mum I think it is important to share with your children a love for fresh food like salads. Congratulations on the website. Read more

I make this salad quite often at work as it is ready in an instant, full of flavour and vitality. Great for a lunch time boost which helps prevent those afternoon cravings for 'the not so good for you' snacks.

Preparation

  • Add the drained lentils to a bowl. Mix in the chopped vegetables and top with crumbled feta (or cottage cheese) and mint leaves.  
  • For the dressing, mix the balsamic with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  • This salad keeps well in advance if you use feta. But if you use cottage cheese, just add it before you eat the salad.
