  • Dry lentils, green or brown, rinsed 300 g ≈ 1 ½ cups
  • Eggs 8 large 400 g
  • Cucumber, diced 240 g ≈ 2 ¼ cups
  • Tomatoes, diced 320 g ≈ 1 ¾ cups

Steps

  1. Cover the lentils with 3 cm of water in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until tender but still holding their shape. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Meanwhile, lower the eggs into a small pot of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Cool them in cold water, peel and cut into quarters.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper.
  4. Add the lentils, cucumber, tomato, red onion and parsley and toss to coat.
  5. Top with the eggs and feta.

Tip: Cook a big pot of lentils on the weekend; plain cooked lentils keep 4 days in the fridge.
