This Roasted Vegetable and Lentil Salad is a healthy and hearty dish that combines the earthy flavors of lentils with the sweet and savory goodness of roasted vegetables. It's perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish for dinner.

Ingredients: 1 cup green lentils. 2 cups mixed vegetables e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.

Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 400F 200C. Put the mixed vegetables on a baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and that's it. Put them in an oven that has already been heated for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down. Rinse the lentils and cook them according to the directions on the package while the vegetables roast. Remove the water and set it aside. To make the dressing, mix the last tablespoon of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, the Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. The cooked lentils, roasted vegetables, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley should all be put in a large salad bowl. Cover the salad with the dressing, then toss it all together until it's well sealed. On top of the salad, crumble some feta cheese. You can serve it right away or put it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors mix. Have fun with your tasty Roasted Vegetable and Lentil Salad!
