- cook lentils* according to instructions on the package. Important: without salt

- add chopped onions just before the end of cooking (or raw later on if you prefer them raw)

- drain the lentils and let them cool a bit

Add other ingredients: 

- lots of chopped herbs: parsley, coriander, peppermint

- honey melon pieces (or cherry tomatoes if you prefer)

- feta pieces

- olive oil

- salt and pepper

*green or black/Beluga lentils are ok. Red ones are not suitable for a salad, they get too soft.
