Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    In a pan of boiling water, add the stock cube, lemon juice, dash of olive oil and lentils. Cook on a medium to low heat for approximately 20-25 mins until lentils are still firm but cooked through.

  2. Step 2

    Add the beans to the hot water and stir through for a further 2 mins and then drain. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic and transfer to a bowl. Tip the lentil and bean mixture into the bowl and cover with foil for 3 mins just until the onions start to soften.

  3. Step 3

    Add the feta cheese, tomatoes, fresh herbs and leave under the foil for a further few minutes while preparing the dressing. Combine the remaining oil, vinegar, honey and lemon juice and whisk with a fork and season. Dress the salad and serve immediately with crisp breads
