Ingredients

1 cup green lentils, cooked per package instructions
1 grapefruit, cut into cubes
1/2 shallot, chopped
1 bunch mint leaves, chopped
2.5 tbsp feta
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 lime (juiced)
2-3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Salad

Cook lentils per package instructions and let cool.
While lentils are cooling, chop up shallot and mint leaves. Add to salad bowl.
Slice grapefruit into quarters, peel, and then cut them into cubes. Add to salad bowl.
Once lentils have cooled, add to salad bowl and mix thoroughly with grapefruit, shallots, and mint.
Dice feta into small cubes. Add to salad bowl.
Top with pumpkin seeds. The more the better in my book!

Dressing

In a separate bowl mix the juiced lime, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
In a small bowl add olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk together. Adjust seasoning as desired.
NOTE: I like to store my dressing on the side as it helps keep my veggies from getting soggy. I just pour it over my salad on an as needed basis.
