Lentil Bulgur Salad

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 1/2 cups bulgur
• 5 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups dry lentils, rinsed
• 1 cup diced green onion
• 1 cup diced sweet red pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
• DRESSING:
• 1/3 cup cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon dill seed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup feta cheese

Directions

1. In a large bowl, pour boiling water over bulgur; let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add lentils. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. In another large bowl, combine bulgur and lentils; cool completely.
2. Add the peppers, onions and parsley. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vinegar, oil, basil, dill, salt and pepper. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Crumble feta cheese over top; toss again. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until serving.
