Lentil salad

1 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup brown lentils, dry
1/2 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, finely diced

  1. Cook lentils. (Boil 4 cups of water, add lentils, and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes.) Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the lemon’s zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste. Add parsley, tomatoes, and onion.
  3. Add lentils and stir well. The salad improves if you let it sit in the refrigerator; stir before serving.
