Ingredients  

1 cup Organic Black Beluga Lentils
1 medium red onion (finely chopped)
75g feta cheese (finely chopped or crumbled)
1 red capsicum
1 tbls chopped rosemary
1 tbls chopped flat leaf parsley
Salt & pepper to taste
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tbls slivered almonds (lightly roasted)
½ tsp Balsamic vinegar

The ingredients are best prepared separately, then combined just before serving. 

Roast the capsicum using your favourite method, then chop finely. Meanwhile add the lentils to 2-3 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat & simmer for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain any excess water, and set aside to cool. Once cooled, combine all ingredients above in a suitable bowl and mix thoroughly but gently.

This salad can be served on its own or with a plate of freshly roasted vegetables or meat of your choice. It can also be served on a large leaf of iceberg lettuce.
