INSTRUCTIONS
BALSAMIC DRESSING
1. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the lentils and cook 20 minutes,
until just tender. Drain well. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and let
drain 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Put the onion into a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit 20
minutes, then drain and press out excess moisture with a paper towel.
3. Combine lentils, onion, red pepper, cucumber, parsley and feta.
4. Put the mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt olive oil and pepper into a jar.
Close and shake to blend. Pour about 3/4 of the mixture over the salad and
marinate in refrigerator at least an hour.
5. Just before serving, stir in the arugula and the remaining dressing.
Toss gently and serve.
