Lentil Feta Walnut Salad is a lovely salad that is perfect for the cold winter. Made with Feta cheese, walnuts, cilantro and green onions, this salad goes really well with any kind of roasted or grilled meats, or just as is, if you are a vegetarian.

Lentils are some of my favorite legumes in the winter. I live in a cold climate and have a hard time eating cucumber and tomato salads unless is July.

Beans, lentils and chickpeas combined with other vegetables make a great addition to our meals in the winter.

As you probably know already, lentils are nutritious and balanced providing proteins, fibers, vitamins and minerals.

This humble legume lowers cholesterol, helps with digestion, stabilizes blood sugar and overall it is a delicious and economical way to feed a family.

You can use them in soups, salads and stews and combine them with lots of other vegetables and meats.

I sometimes buy them already cooked, but if they are not available in this form, you can make your own and it is very easy.

HOW TO COOK LENTILS:

Use 3 cups of water for every cup of lentils. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender but not mushy. If you use brown lentils, which are the most common type, they cook in about 30 minutes. The best way to check if they are done is to taste them.

How to make Lentil Feta Walnut Salad

The salad I am going to share with you today is a simple salad made with walnuts, cilantro and green onions, topped with Feta cheese (I love Feta, especially the one made from sheep milk which is  the best!).

The dressing for this salad is extremely easy to make and super delicious. A little bit of olive oil, a little bit of vinegar OR lemon juice, salt and pepper and you are done.

This salad can be served with my favorite chicken schnitzels!
