    Hi...
    I served this for dinner tonight along with the Mennonite Crockpot Pork Chops...This salad is really good...lots of great flavors! I couldn't find canned lentils, so I used the dry lentils I had at home...I cooked about a cup of dry lentils in water in a saucepan for about 45-60 minutes or until tender....the 1 cup of dry lentils made up a little more than 2 cups of cooked lentils..
    Enjoy!

    Lentil Salad
    2 (15 ounce) cans brown lentils
    1 cup crumbled feta cheese
    1/2 (16 ounce) bottle Greek, or other vinaigrette salad dressing
    1 English cucumber, peeled and diced
    1 beefsteak tomato, diced
    1 large red onion, diced
    Strain lentils and place in a large bowl. Pour in 1/2 of the salad dressing, and stir to coat. Place in the refrigerator while preparing other vegetables. Add feta cheese, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Stir in remaining dressing when ready to serve. May be kept, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    PEG’S NOTE:
    I couldn’t find lentils in a can, so I just cooked up 1 cup of dry lentils…cooked for about 45 to 60 minutes and then drained. This makes about 2 cups of cooked lentils.
