Recipe Instructions:

1 cup dry lentils (or 2 cups cooked)
Zest and juice of 2 small (or 1 large) lemons
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, minced
1/2 cup minced mint leaves (leave a few whole leaves for garnish, if you like)

Rinse the lentils. Place them in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until just tender, about 15 minutes (this will vary depending on the variety of lentil you're using). Drain and rinse with cold water. This should yield about 2 cups prepared lentils.
In a large salad bowl, toss all the remaining ingredients together. Top with whole mint leaves.
