Lentil Summer Salad - The Recipe:
Step 1: Wash your canned Lentils
Step 2: Cut the onion in small cubes (or whatever shape you prefer)
If you do not use a sweet/salad onion, you can follow my ultimate tipp to make every onion salad-ready. Put your cut onion on a small plate and cover quite some salt. Let it sit for 4-5 minutes then wash the salt off with water. The salt has removed the spiciness of the onion. You are left with delicious crunchy onion for your salad.
Step 3: Cut your Tomatoes, Feta cheese, Green & Red Italian pepper in small cubes.
Step 4: Put the ingredients from Step 2, the washed lentils, Olives, Feta and the sweetened-up onions in a big bowl
Step 5: Drizzle over some olive oil and white vinegar. Season with Salt and pepper.
Tipp: Replace the Vinegar with fresh Lemon juice for the ulitmate summer-freshness
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!!
