Lentil Salad
Ingredients: 1/2 cup (1.2dl) cooked lentils, handful parsley, 1 tomato, 1/4 small red onion, feta cheese, 1/2 lemon, olive oil, 1 garlic clove, oregano
Start by preparing the lemon garlic dressing. Combine lemon juice, crushed garlic, 1tbsp (15ml) oregano, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Mix and set aside. If you’re not fond of a strong garlic taste, you should use 1/2 a garlic clove.
