1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, chervil or a combination)
1/3 cup Meyer Lemon Infused Olive Oil

1/2 cup red onion or green onions, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, mustard, and chopped fresh
herbs.
Mix thoroughly.
Use a large fork or whisk to beat in infused olive oil a little at a time.
Taste and adjust
seasoning to taste.
Add cooked lentils and chopped vegetables, stirring gently to combine without smashing
lentils.
Just before serving, stir again to distribute dressing.
Add feta at the last minute, mixing
lightly to keep feta in distinct chunks.
Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
