  • 1 bunch English spinach leaves, shredded
  • 150 g reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbs walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-fat Italian salad dressing

Method

  1. Combine lentils, garlic, onion, spinach and feta in a mixing bowl.

Variation:

Use 250g cooked green beans instead of spinach. Replace canned lentils with 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils. Always rinse lentils and pick out stones before cooking. Cook according to packet instructions. Be careful not to overcook as they will go mushy.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve with roast pork loin or chicken.
