Roasted Pepper and Lentil Salad image

This is based on a Weight Watchers recipe modified to suit my own tastes. A wonderfully simple salad that can play center stage at the meal or accompany grilled meat and vegetables. Travels well and would work well for a potluck or picnic.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb dry lentils, rinsed and picked over to remove debris
6 cups water
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large red pepper
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

1/8 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring lentils and water to boil in a saucepan over high heat.

  • While the lentils are cooking, char the red pepper over a high flame on the stove until the skin is blackened and blistered.
  • Place it in a paper or plastic bag for 10 minutes to get the skin to further loosen.
  • Remove skin from pepper and dice into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Set aside.
  • Drain lentils and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add vinegar, oil, garlic, peppers and basil; toss to combine.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I would use less oil next time.
