Directions

  1. Place lentils into a large pot and cover with water. Add salt and bay leaf and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until lentils are tender yet firm to the bite, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool, about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf.

  2. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, and oregano together in a bowl for the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Combine lentils, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Add dressing and mix until well combined. Add feta cheese and carefully mix to combine.
