1 cup lentils provides a hearty base and are rich in protein
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled adds a creamy, tangy flavor
1 cucumber, diced refreshing and crunchy; substitute with bell peppers if desired
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved sweet and juicy
1/4 red onion, finely chopped brings sharpness to balance the creaminess of the feta

Rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold water.
Cook the lentils in a pot of boiling water for about 20-25 minutes, until tender.
Drain the cooked lentils well and allow them to cool to room temperature.
Combine cooled lentils with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta in a large bowl.
Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or mint.
