Lentil salad with feta and pomegranate is a surprisingly delicious combination of earthy, salty, and sweet flavors. The combination of the brine from feta cheese, and the sweet pop of pomegranate works amazingly well with the filling and satisfying fiber-packed lentils.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Lentil Perfection 🫘
Rinse French lentils thoroughly and cook them in salted water with a bay leaf to enhance their natural flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
Pomegranate Pro Tip 💎
To easily extract pomegranate seeds, cut the fruit in half and tap the back with a wooden spoon over a bowl - the seeds will fall out cleanly without mess.
Herb Chopping Technique 🌿
Roll mint and cilantro leaves tightly before chopping to prevent bruising and preserve their vibrant green color and fresh flavor profile.
Flavor Layering Trick 🥄
Toast cumin and coriander seeds briefly in a dry pan before grinding to intensify their aromatic oils and deepen the salad's complexity.
Acid Balance Magic 🍋
Zest the lime before juicing, and add the lime juice gradually to control the acidity, tasting as you go to achieve the perfect bright, balanced dressing.
