Cucumber lentil salad

posted in: Recipes | 0
  • ½ cup dried lentils
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large hot house cucumber (or 3 persian cucumbers), diced
  • 1 bunch of dill, minced (about 3 tablespoons)
  • ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Salt to taste

In a medium saucepan, add the lentils, a few pinches of salt and enough water to cover lentils by a few inches. Turn the heat to medium and cover the pot, cooking the lentils for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Drain the lentils and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, add yogurt, lemon juice and a few pinches of salt. Mix until combined. Add the dill, diced cucumber and nearly cooled lentils. Toss together until completely combined. Give it a taste and adjust the salt or lemon juice to your liking. Serve immediately.
