@kalejunkie ULTIMATE LENTIL SALAD, MEAL PREP EDITION! This salad is so worth making, it’s packed with protein and fiber and will keep you full for hours! The best part is that you can meal prep this for lunch all week without the lentils getting soggy. The secret is using the right storage containers. I LOVE my @zwilling_usa Fresh & Save vacuum seal glass containers; I have them in all sizes and use them daily and that’s because the rechargeable handheld vacuum pump literally sucks the air out, which in turn keeps your food fresher up to 5 times longer. Which means NO SAD LUNCHES! ⁣

⁣
Makes 4 servings⁣
Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette⁣
1/2 cup olive oil⁣
3 tb dijon mustard⁣
2 tb honey⁣
3 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
1 lemon, juiced (4 tb)⁣
1/2 tsp cumin⁣
1/2 tsp kosher salt⁣
1/2 tsp ground black pepper⁣
⁣
Lentil Salad⁣
2 cups lentils, green or brown (rinsed well)⁣
6 cups water⁣
1-2 bay leaves (optional)⁣
4 Persian cucumbers, chopped⁣
1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped⁣
1 small red onion, finely diced⁣
1 bunch mint, finely chopped⁣
1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped (I love castelvetrano olives)⁣
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled⁣
⁣
In a medium saucepan, add the lentils, water, and bay leaves. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to very low, cover the pot, and simmer for 16 to 20 minutes. The lentils should be soft but not at all mushy. Let the lentils cool completely (I just transfer the pot to the fridge to speed up the process. While lentils are cooking, prepare the vinaigrette. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Next, chop the veggies for the salad. Get out four meal prep containers. Pour dressing on the bottom, followed by the cooked lentils and veggies. Add crumbled feta on top. Cover containers and place in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Enjoy!⁣
