Black Lentil Salad with Feta and Cucumber
Serves 420 mins prep10 mins cook
A tasty protein-packed vegetarian lentil salad full of Mediterranean ingredients. This salad is quick and easy to make and keeps well in the refrigerator. The dressing is a riff on my absolute favorite green sauce, a spicy condiment from Israel and the Middle East called zhoug.
