Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of dry lentils (I used French lentils cause they are much more consistent)
  • 1 pint of grape tomatoes cup in half (about 1 ½ cups)
  • ¼ small red onion finely chopped
  • ¼ cup of kalamata olives
  • 1 cup of canned artichokes in quarters
  • ½ cup of chopped parsley
  • Dressing:
  • Juice of 1 lemon (more if needed)
  • ¼ cup of a good virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp of Dijon
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Cook the lentils according to instructions in the package. They are usually done in 20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them as you do not want them to be soft.
  2. While the lentils are cooking prepare and chop all ingredients listed.
  3. When the lentils are cooked, drain them and let them cool. Then, pass them to a larger bowl.
  4. Add the grape tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, artichokes, and parsley to the bowl and toss.
  5. To make dressing simply combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk.
  6. Add dressing to the lentil bowl and serve immediately or refrigerate .
