This lentil salad with feta and cucumber is fresh, filling and ready in a jiffy. Substantial lentils form the protein base, crunchy cucumber and juicy cherry tomatoes bring freshness, and crumbled lean feta adds a salty touch. Fresh mint and a red wine vinegar dressing make it a lively, protein-rich lunch.

Phase 2 is all about dishes where protein remains central whilst there's room for wholesome carbohydrates. With 24 grams of protein and 28 grams of carbohydrates from lentils, this salad offers exactly that balance. The fibre-rich lentils provide long-lasting satiety and fit perfectly within a plant-based protein diet.

Lovely with a few slices of wholemeal crispbread or a handful of rocket mixed through for extra volume. For on the go, toss the dressing through just before eating, so everything stays crunchy and fresh.

Zo maak je het

  2. Add the cucumber and cherry tomatoes.

Bewaren

Variatietips

Replace the feta with chunks of halloumi or the mint with fresh parsley. A handful of pomegranate seeds gives the salad a sweet, crunchy twist.
