Cold Lentil and Salad Dish
I don't like eating soups in the summer. So, I'm looking for ways to enjoy legumes in a cooler way. Last week, we had a lentil salad at a tavern that we loved, so today I improvised to make a similar dish. It can be eaten as a main dish on a hot afternoon or served as a salad. And of course, you can add a bit of onion, either fresh or dried.

Boil the lentils in plenty of water. If you like, add a bay leaf to the water. Let them cook for 20-30 minutes until they are done but not mushy. They should be soft but firm. Rinse, drain, and set them aside.
- 2
Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese into small pieces.
- 3
Mix all the dressing ingredients well.

In a large bowl, combine the lentils with about 3/4 of the dressing. Then add the tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, and olives on top. If desired, sprinkle a little extra salt on the salad. Add the olives and a bit of oregano. Pour the remaining dressing over the top, and the dish is ready!
