10-Minute Feta Salad
This is one of my go-to salads when I want something high in protein, quick to make, and has a lot of fibre! I like the base of my salad to be chopped spinach, but you can use whatever you fancy. Romaine lettuce would be great too!

What ingredients do you need for this dish (includes possible substitutions)?
Cooked green lentils: puy lentils would also be great here too!
Pickled beetroot: I like the sharp and slightly sweet taste of pickled beetroot, if you don’t like beetroot though you could use a jar of roasted peppers.
Spinach: I’ve used chopped spinach as the base for the salad, but use whatever you want, e.g. romaine, kale, rocket…
Parsley: I love parsley in this salad!
Feta: adds flavour and extra protein!
Hazelnuts: can be substituted with chopped almonds.
