This oriental lentil salad<\/strong> tastes like the Levant – fresh, colorful and full of flavors that combine to create an irresistible taste sensation. Whether as a light main course, as part of a mezze<\/a> or as a side dish with grilled food – this fruity salad with lentils<\/strong>, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, pomegranate seeds and feta is always perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun-ripened ingredients for aromatic salad with lentils<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lentils are very popular in Levantine cuisine because they contain a lot of protein<\/strong>, are filling<\/strong> and wonderfully versatile<\/strong>. Most recipes use red lentils, but for this oriental lentil salad recipe<\/strong> I have used plate lentils, as they don’t break down so quickly during cooking and retain a bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beluga lentils are also particularly suitable for salads, as they retain their shape when cooked. If you would like to try a colorful salad with other lentils, I recommend the beluga lentil salad with feta cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the small pulses, a few fresh ingredients<\/strong> are added to the bowl. Crunchy cucumber, peppers and cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, creamy feta and sweet and sour pomegranate seeds. These ingredients not only taste wonderfully aromatic, but also look fantastic and make the lentil salad not only a feast for the palate, but also a feast for the eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
