This mediterranean jewel is incredibly flavorful, not too filling, and a perfect lunch any day of the week. This lentil salad delivers in carbohydrates, calories and healthy fats and therefore is quite the candidate for a post-workout meal. We’d recommend this dish after a modest Zone 2 or 3 workout as the recipe lacks in simple sugars which we’d prefer for higher intensity training.

Directions

The lentils should be prepared ahead of time then chilled. Canned lentils can also be used. If using canned, they should be rinsed and separated.
Chop all of your veggies.
Chop the olives.
Crumble a little bit of vegan feta.
Finely chop the fresh herbs. You can add more or less herbs, depending on how you feel about them. Dyl also works if you love that. You can really use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. If using oregano go light because it has a stronger flavor than the other herbs and can be overpowering.
Combine all of the ingredients and add 1-2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. it’s best to add a little and then mix it taste it then add little more. The zing of red wine vinegar can be overbearing if you end up with too much on your salad.
Crumble a tiny bit of vegan feta and toss on the top.
