A light but filling vegetarian meal with lentils, brown rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta. Dressed with lemon & oil.

2 cups cooked brown rice (I use Trader Joe's organic frozen brown rice & I love it)
1 cup lentils, rinsed & picked over
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
3 small tomatoes (I used brown tomatoes), diced
1 medium english cucumber, diced
juice of 2 lemons
~ 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
handful of (reduced fat) feta cheese, to taste

I love using Trader Joe's frozen rice (it's ready in 3 minutes), but if you're using "real" rice, prepare that now. In a medium saucepan, add one cup of lentils with four cups of water and a bay leaf....
