DIFFICULTY
METHOD
Rinse the lentils thoroughly, then place in a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked to your taste. Drain, rinse thoroughly until cold and set aside.
1Meanwhile, whisk the feta, Greek yoghurt and salt together in a bowl. Once creamy and smooth, stir in the lemon zest and pop back in the fridge to set slightly.
2To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a jar, add the lid and shake until fully combined. Add more salt and mustard to taste.
3Add the pine nuts, sunflower seeds, parsley, grapes, salad leaves and a big pinch of salt and pepper in a large salad or mixing bowl. Once the lentils are cold, add to the bowl and stir through.
4To serve, spread some of the creamy feta onto a plate, then top with the salad and drizzle with the dressing to finish.
To make this vegan, you can swap out the creamy feta for some plant-based yoghurt or hummus. You can also replace the honey with maple syrup, rice syrup or agave.
