  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 2 cups cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, sliced

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

In a large bowl, add lentils, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, and Kalamata olives and mix to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and oregano. Drizzle vinaigrette on salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.
