1 ½ English cucumbers

3 cloves garlic

1 ½ small pkgs grape tomatoes

1 ½ small bunches Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

¾ cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1 ½ medium red onions

Instructions

Rinse the lentils, then transfer to a small saucepan and cover with hot water (from the tap) by about 5 cm. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool and drain further.

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim off and discard the root ends of the garlic; peel and mince or press the garlic.

In a large salad bowl, combine and whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, salt, and pepper.

Trim off and discard the ends of the cucumber; quarter the cucumber lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 6-mm-thick pieces at an angle and add to the salad bowl.

Halve the grape tomatoes crosswise and add to the salad bowl.

Using a knife, shave the parsley leaves off the stems at a downward angle, working away from your body; discard the stems and finely chop the leaves. Add to the salad bowl.

Trim off and discard the ends of the onion and remove the outer layer; quarter the onion lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise into quarter-rings. Add to the salad bowl.

Halve the olives lengthwise and add to the salad bowl.

Measure out the feta and transfer to a small bowl.

To serve, divide the salad between bowls or plates and top with the feta. Enjoy!
