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.

Ingredients
for the salad
- 160g cooked green lentils
- 100g pickled beetroot, roughly chopped
- 60g feta, crumbled
- 60g spinach, chopped (or romaine lettuce, or your favourite salad!)
- 30g toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 10g parsley, finely chopped
for the dressing
- 100g greek yoghurt
- 1 garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2-4 tbsp water (enough water to make it double cream thickness)
- Pinch of salt
Method
- In a small bowl or jar, mix together the ingredients for the salad dressing with a pinch of salt. Add enough water to make the dressing similar in thickness to pouring cream.
- In a large salad serving bowl, add the spinach then top with the rest of the salad ingredients. Drizzle over the dressing then mix it all together. And that’s it!
