This Middle Eastern Lentil Salad<\/strong> is perfect dish for anyone who\u2019s a fan of lentils, fresh herbs and garlic! It\u2019s made green lentils which retain their shape and texture with cooking, making them a great choice for salads like this one. Intensely flavourful and super satisfying, it\u2019s made from simple ingredients that your probably already have on hand. Cumin, a good olive oil, saut\u00e9ed garlic, lemon juice, shallots and a good dose of parsley and mint, plus a sprinkle of feta turn toothsome lentils into a satisfying side dish. Or\u2026a main dish when served over a bed of greens.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for new ideas with lentils, I can\u2019t recommend this lentil salad highly enough. The saut\u00e9ed garlic adds a whole new depth of flavour to an otherwise very light and refreshing lentil salad.<\/p>\n

How to adapt this Middle Eastern Lentil Salad<\/h2>\n

Whether you serve it as a main dish or a flavourful side dish, this Middle Eastern style lentil salad is the perfect year-round recipe! And it\u2019s easy to adapt. I recommend trying this recipe as it is \u2014- because it\u2019s just so tasty! But, you could easily adapt it to suit the season. For example, by adding more fresh ingredients in the summer months, such as diced mini cucumber or halved cherry tomatoes. You also keep thing simple and simply give this Middle Eastern lentil salad a little extra boost by garnishing it with a handful of pomegranate seeds. Or make it vegan and simply skip the feta cheese. As for adding greens, in winter I like to serve this salad over a bed of purslane leaves or lambs lettuce, but you could also try butter lettuce or even romaine.<\/p>\n
