We always try to have a couple of days a week at least that are meat-free meals so, this green lentil and feta cheese salad is definitely one of our favourite dishes for a vegetarian option.

What's so good about this feta cheese salad?

I've made this recipe a few years back on one of those days when you're not sure what the outcome will be. I was so happy with it that I had to carry on making it over and over again.

I sometimes add the feta cheese, sometimes I do not for a vegan version.

Just fabulous and you should not have it any other way. I do love this roast/grilled veggies-feta combo. It's just superb!!

I was given the green light and loads of thumbs up by my family when I've asked them if this recipe is good enough to go up on the blog so here it is!

We absolutely love it, love it, love it and I strongly believe you will too.  The pictures make no justice to this dish really and if you haven't tried this dish or combination before, it is definitely time to do it.

I have to say that this is my top comfort food. I could eat this kind of salad all day long every day for a year and still prefer it on the 365th or even 366th day.

It is really healthy and pretty balanced since it is high in proteins, has got a good fibre content the veggies which we know how good they are etc, etc.... and it's gluten-free too!! Yoop yoop!

Here are some truly delish salad type dishes you may enjoy: 

  • Watermelon and feta salad
  • Brown and green lentils with portobello mushrooms, wasabi rocket and watercress salad
  • Lentils, chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes
  • Potato, olives and feta cheese salad

Ok! Let's just get cooking!

Equipment

  • knife
  • chopping board
  • pot
  • bowl
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 350 g green lentil (organic)
  • 300 g vegetables (grilled, mixed) frozen
  • 150 g spinach (organic) frozen
  • 150 g feta cheese
  • 1 medium red onion (organic)
  • 4 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar (organic)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots (organic)
  • 1 onion (organic)
  • thyme fresh
Metric - US Imperial

Instructions

  • Cook the lentils according to pack instructions. I normally cook them 'al dente' as I like them a little crunchy rather than mushy. So, I cover them in water (water level should be about 2 cm above the level of the lentils). Put some salt and boil (covered) on medium fire. When the water starts boiling decrease the fire to low and cook for max 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop the red and white onions, the shallots put those in a pan, add about 180 ml water and some salt and pepper and cook (covered) for 10' till nice and soft. When the water has gone down, add the olive oil and cook for 2 more minutes. Switch off the heat and add ¾ of the balsamic vinegar along with ½ tablespoon cider vinegar.
  • While onions and lentils are cooking, in a deep frying pan put the frozen grilled veggies as well as the spinach over medium fire. They have some oil so no need to add any. When they start sizzling away, lower the fire and cook for about 10-12 minutes tossing occasionally.
  • Drain the remainder of the water from the lentils and mix with the onion and the vegetables.
  • Add some fresh thyme and the feta cheese crumbled.
  • Serve warm or cold.

Notes

I normally buy the frozen grilled veggies from Waitrose as I found, for me, they are the best combination - they have aubergine, courgette, red and yellow pepper, onion and a nice, nice taste indeed. By all means grill your own veggies and this will probably taste even more divine but if you do not have the energy and the time - have some ready bought as they are just fab.
I sometimes have added some beets nicely roasted and instead of feta cheese, I have crumbled some beautiful and good quality goats cheese.
It is just delicious!
