Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 small red onion, diced

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and Prepare the Lentils: Rinse the lentils under cold water to remove any debris. Place them in a pot with the 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain and allow to cool.

  3. Whisk the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This simple dressing is where the magic happens—it brings everything to life.
  4. Pour and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. You want to make sure every ingredient is coated in that vibrant dressing.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve chilled or at room temperature. Your salad is now ready to steal the spotlight!
