Prep ingredients
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife
Fine-mesh strainer

Rinse lentils and farro, dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, chop parsley and crumble feta. Use a 6-quart cooking pot and 5-quart mixing bowl.

Keep fingertips curled back and the knife blade angled away from your hand while cutting the vegetables.

1 cup green lentils
1 cup farro
1 Each cucumber
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup parsley
1/2 cup feta cheese
2
Cook lentils and farro
Medium saucepan

Bring lentils, pearled farro, measured water and half the salt to a boil, then simmer gently uncovered until both are tender. Stir occasionally and check after 20 minutes; allow 20–30 minutes or the grain package time, longer if either remains hard.

Use caution around boiling water and steam while simmering the lentils and farro.

1 cup green lentils
1 cup farro
5 cups Water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3
Drain and cool
Fine-mesh strainer

Drain well and spread in shallow dishes; refrigerate promptly until no longer hot before mixing. Allow 10–15 minutes for initial cooling and continue as needed.

Pour the hot lentil-farro mixture slowly to avoid steam burns and splashing.

4
Make dressing
Whisk
Small bowl

Whisk oil, lemon juice, oregano and the remaining salt while the grains cool.

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
5
Combine boxes mixture
Large mixing bowl

Fold cooled lentils and farro with cucumber, tomatoes, parsley and dressing until evenly coated. Avoid crushing the tomatoes.

1 Each cucumber
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup parsley
6
Pack and chill
4 lunch containers

Divide among roomy lunch containers, top evenly with feta and refrigerate promptly at 40°F or below. Four-cup containers suit the base portions. Cover loosely while cooling and seal once chilled; eat within four days. Allow additional time for fully chilled serving.

Refrigerate the lunch containers promptly at 40°F (4°C) or below.

1/2 cup feta cheese
