Steps:
- To prepare this Greek style lentil salad recipe with feta cheese, start by cooking the lentils. Place the lentils in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Drain and place them in a large pot. Cover the lentils with a 5-6cm of cold water, season with salt, add the bay leaf and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes. For this Greek lentil feta salad recipe the lentils should be cooked, but still retain a slight tooth. Keep in mind that different varieties of lentils cook at different times, so have a taste after 15 minutes and be careful not to overcook them!
- In the meantime prepare the vegetables. For this Greek feta lentil salad recipe, you could use the peppers raw, cut into little cubes or roasted. Roasting the peppers, until slightly soft, will give extra flavour. To roast the peppers, cut them in half crosswise and place on a baking tray, lined with parchment pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt. Bake in preheated oven at 200-220C for about 20 minutes, or until softened.
- To prepare the dressing for this Greek lentil salad recipe, add all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- When the lentils are cooked, drain them in a colander and place under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled slightly place lentils in a large serving bowl and toss with dressing. Add the chopped onion, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, olives and roasted peppers (sliced) and blend. Wait to add the fresh herbs just before serving. Enjoy!

This salad is extremely good. It's amazing how the cilantro flavor does not overpower the salad.

WARM RED LENTIL SALAD WITH GOAT OR FETA CHEESE
I got this recipe out of the Fitness Food Cookbook, a christmas gift from my sister. I'm copying this recipe as is but will probably sub half the ingredients-- I don't care for goat cheese, I'll probably use feta. And I never heard of hazelnut oil; I'd sub with olive or sunflower oil. Lemon pepper would also be a nice sub for black pepper in the seasoning the cheese.

- Cook the farro according to package directions. I used a quick-cooking (10 minute) Italian farro, but other varieties may take up to 50 minutes. When the farro is done, strain any excess liquid, and return farro to the pot. Sprinkle with salt, stir, and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- To prepare the lentils in an Instant Pot, combine all ingredients in the IP insert. Lock on the lid, and set to sealing. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid, and check the texture of the lentils. I prefer lentils on the firm side for salads, but if you prefer them softer, re-secure the lid and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. When done, strain the lentils and discard the liquid. Return lentils to the pot. Remove lemon peel, mash the clove of garlic against the side of the pot, and stir it into the lentils. Set aside for a few minutes to cool.
- To prepare the lentils on the stovetop, combine all ingredients in a soup pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until lentils are as tender as you like. Strain the lentils, and return to the pot. Discard the lemon peel. Smash the garlic clove against the inside of the pot, and stir to distribute. Set lentils aside for a few minutes to cool.

- In a bowl, whisk the vinegar, coriander and sumac (if using) with salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the lentils. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.
- While the lentils cook, toast the pine nuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, stir the pine nuts constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Transfer them immediately to a plate to keep them from burning.
- When the lentils are done cooking, drain them into a colander and transfer to a small bowl. While the lentils are still hot, stir in the onions and 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Let cool until it's a warm room temperature.

- 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 3/4 of the balsamic vinegar along with 1/2 tbsp 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.
