This healthy wholesome Greek Lentil Jar Salad is perfect for meal prep lunches or a quick dinner, loaded with protein-rich lentils, lots of crunchy veggies, creamy feta cheese, and a tangy dijon vinaigrette.
Rinse the lentils in a fine mesh sieve, make sure to inspect for any bad lentils or little stones.
Add lentils to a large pot and fill with water. Add any aromatics you like (1 bay leaf will do the trick!) Bring the pot to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes. Test the lentils at 20 minutes by tasting them. When they are tender they are done.
Drain the lentils, remove the bay leaves, and set aside to cool
Dijon Vinaigrette
