I was excited about this recipe because I love all the ingredients. Sorry to say, it didn't work out for me. Maybe I did something wrong - the lentils were quite dry and bland.

A brilliant way to jazz up lentils! Also very easy to put together - always a plus! I used green lentils and cubed feta (got lazy and didn't crumble it!). Next time I think I'll use less lentils, 1 C maybe, but keep the amounts of the dressing and feta the same; not only because they make this taste so fabulous, but also because with so much lentil this did turn out a bit dry for me. Lovely recipe, thank you so much for sharing!

Dude, this is a truly phenomenal, simple, easy recipe! Love lentils, but never thought to put them with sun-dried tomatoes before - excellent combination! And the feta really makes it. I accidentally boiled the lentils for 40 minutes, so they were a little mushy but still excellent. Next time I will add some fresh spinach just for fun. I served this over brown rice, but I bet it could handle some fusilli just as easy. Great recipe!
