Instructions
- Prepare your dressing by whisking the olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings. Set aside.

- Pour the dressing over the Greek lentil salad.

Notes
- If using packaged lentils, clean them before using them, remove any foreign debris, and ensure not to overcook them. If using canned lentils, rinse them thoroughly under a cold tap making sure the water runs clear.
- Make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Use it when ready to dress the salad.
- Mix all the ingredients except the feta cheese and salad dressing for meal prep. (Keep the cheese and dressing separate and add them to the salad right before serving).
