Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Rinse the lentils in a sieve and drain very well. Wash and dry the arugula, then halve the tomatoes.

  2. 2

    Mix the dressing

    Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard into a smooth dressing. Season with pepper and only a little salt, as the feta is already salty.

  3. 3

    Marinate the lentils

    Toss the lentils and tomatoes with the dressing and leave for 5 minutes so the lentils absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Finish the salad

    Fold in the arugula just before eating and crumble the feta over the top.

Tip

For meal prep, store the arugula separately and add it only when eating so it does not wilt.
