Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, one-pan dinner featuring earthy green lentils, roasted red peppers, and tangy feta cheese, all brought together with a zesty lemon-herb dressing.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano to create the dressing. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Thinly slice the red onion and roasted red peppers. Halve the olives and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet or serving bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, sliced red onions, roasted red pepper strips, and kalamata olives.
Pour the prepared dressing over the lentil mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated and vibrant.
Top the dish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature for a wholesome, simple dinner.
This dish is a beautiful example of how simple ingredients can create a deeply nourishing meal. The key is in the layering of flavors—the sweetness of the roasted peppers against the briny olives and the earthy lentils. If you have leftovers, they make an incredible cold salad the next day! For a little extra protein, you can toss in some canned chickpeas or serve it alongside grilled fish. Healthy made easy!
