This lentil cucumber and feta salad is the kind of recipe that feels fresh, filling, and easy all at once.
It combines tender lentils, crisp cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, red onion, herbs, and creamy feta in a bright dressing that brings everything together beautifully.
Lentils make this salad hearty enough for lunch while still keeping it light and refreshing. The cucumber adds crunch, the feta adds a salty creamy touch, and the herbs give the whole bowl a very fresh finish.
If you are not using canned lentils, cook them until tender, then let them cool completely before mixing.
Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and prepare the fresh herbs.
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Combine the lentils, vegetables, herbs, and feta in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing, toss gently, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
This salad tastes even better after sitting for a short time, which makes it great for meal prep. You can also add olives or avocado if you want a slightly richer version.
Lentil cucumber and feta salad is simple, colorful, and full of texture. It is a great recipe to keep on hand when you want something healthy that still feels satisfying.
