Griechischer Linsensalat

Greek lentil salad is not very common in German-Greek gastronomy. In Greece, especially in the North where lentils are grown, lentil salad is a classic dish. We would like to introduce you to a traditional version from a producer family.

Ingredients

  • Lentils
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 medium tomato
  • Cucumber
  • Bell pepper
  • Parsley
  • Salt
  • Olive oil
  • Feta cheese
 

Here's how

  1. Simmer lentils in a pot with enough water and a little salt.
  2. Be careful not to overcook the lentils (they shouldn't burst). The lentils should remain slightly al dente.
  3. Drain the lentils and let them cool.
  4. Chop the onion, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, and parsley and place them in a salad bowl.
  5. Salt the cooled lentils and add them to the vegetables in the salad bowl.
  6. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and mix in some feta cheese if desired.
