We love lentils because they are protein-rich, filling, and satisfying. But their flavor might best be described as moody or earthy, which means that they go best with a few accents to lighten and brighten them up. This recipe brings in cool cucumber, carrot, and radish, plus a squeeze of sunny lemon and a breath of fresh dill. And on the side, you’ve got a feta-stuffed pita that’s brimming with cheesy goodness.

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Cook Lentils
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse lentils, then put in a medium pot along with 1¼ cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until tender, 20-30 minutes.

Prep
2

Cut radishes and cucumber in half lengthwise. Slice each into thin halfmoons. Peel carrots, then thinly slice on a diagonal. Pick fronds from dill; discard stems. Roughly chop fronds. Cut lemon in half. TIP: Save one lemon half for dressing lentils and use other to season dressing and salad.

Make Dressing
3

In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, half the dill, half the Mediterranean marinade spice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add a splash of water, if needed, to give dressing a drizzly consistency.

Fill and Bake Pita
4

Cut pita in half. Fill the pockets with remaining dill and half the feta cheese (save other half for garnish). Place on a baking sheet. Bake in oven until feta cheese is soft and pita is lightly toasted, 6-8 minutes.

Make Salad and Season Lentils
5

In a large bowl, toss arugula with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and half the remaining Mediterranean marinade spice. Season with salt and pepper. Once lentils are done, remove from heat. Stir a drizzle of olive oil, juice of one lemon half, and remaining Mediterranean marinade spice into pot. Season with salt and pepper.

Plate and Serve
6

Divide salad between plates. Top with lentils, radishes, cucumbers, and carrots. Sprinkle with remaining feta cheese. Drizzle with dressing. Serve with pita halves on the side.
