Instructions
  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the lentils and cook for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Add kale to a large bowl. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, and a pinch of salt. Massage for a minute or two to help break the kale down and become more tender. Add the cooled lentils, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, red onion, bell pepper, cucumber, feta, parsley and basil. Toss to combine.
  3. Add the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl to make the dressing. Add in the olive oil and whisk to combine.
  4. Add desired amount of the dressing to the salad and toss.
