Mediterranean Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese

Sometimes simplicity is the best thing! This recipe happened almost by accident with wanting to use up goat cheese and choosing to use canned lentils so that I could avoid using the stove on a hot summer day. This is the perfect recipe to bring to a potluck or have as a side dish for an outdoor BBQ. Check out my other recipes for lentil salads here!
