Greek Lentil Feta Salad is tasty and healthy too! Lentils, surrounded by feta cheese, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and onions in a red wine vinaigrette!

For those of you who do not regularly eat lentils this recipe is a great place to start, or if you want to sneak something really good for you into an already healthy salad, then this recipe is for you! Especially if you are a fan of Greek salad!

I have been eating this salad constantly for weeks now! I can't help it. This Greek Lentil Feta Salad is that yummy! Having a food blog is a lot of fun but if I am not careful those extra pounds keep showing up, whether I like it or not!

This salad is low in calories and so healthy for you to eat. I'm just so glad I enjoy it as much as I do!

Greek Lentil Feta Salad is so bright and colorful! I leave the vegetables and lentils in one container, the feta in another and the dressing out on the counter.

In the fridge the olive oil thickens to the point you can't use it. If you prefer you can keep it in the fridge and take it out a few hours before you are going to use it!

When I am ready for a bowl I scoop out some salad, add some feta and then dressing. Give the salad a stir so the dressing lightly coats everything and start to eat! Days of enjoyment!

I also find it easier to eat better if something is already prepared and ready to go. Maybe I am strange! Having this Greek Lentil Feta Salad in the fridge has become my go to food!

With this salad you might have extra dressing left over. It will depend on how much you like to use. Regardless this dressing can be used with any salad that you make!

Traditionally, a Greek Salad or Village Greek Salad is made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, feta cheese, usually served as a slice on top of the other ingredients and not in cubes or crumbled, and olives, usually Kalamata, seasoned with salt and oregano, and drizzled with olive oil.

Historically, this salad does not include lettuce or any other leafy greens and the salad is not tossed before it is served. For more information you can have a look here.
