French Lentil Salad with Feta and Mint image

Number Of Ingredients 12

1.5 cups French lentils
4 clove garlic
1 bay leaf
1 shallot
1.5 tablespoon dijon
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 fennel
.5 teaspoon sumac
.25 cup mint
3 ounce goat cheese

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils with water in a colander and look over carefully, removing any tiny stones or debris. Put in a medium pot with the garlic and bay leaf and cover by 2 to 3 inches with water. Bring to a boil. Once water boils, drop the heat until it simmers. Simmer until the lentils are just tender, but not mushy, about 20 minutes.
  • While the lentils cook, in a medium bowl, make a dressing by whisking together the shallot, mustard, salt, vinegar, oil, several cracks of black pepper, and the optional sumac
  • Once the lentils are cooked, drain in a colander and add to the bowl with the dressing. Mix well. Add the fennel, mint, and feta and mix gently. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm or cold.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my liking.

The lentils were a bit too firm for my taste, but the overall flavor of the salad was still good.
