Step 1
Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a pot over high heat. Add lentils and a pinch of salt.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer until lentils are tender but still hold their shape, about 18 minutes.
Step 3
Drain lentils in a colander and rinse briefly under cool water to stop cooking. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
While lentils cool, whisk lemon juice and olive oil together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Add cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion to the lentils. Toss gently to combine.
Step 6
Pour dressing over the salad and toss until coated evenly. Top with feta cheese.
