lentil salad with balsamic vinegar and feta

this is what I cooked yesterday. it worked. I was just modifying recipes for lentils salad from the internet - just like collage - taking the lesson from Tam's salad mixing strategies: balsamic vinegar, lots of garlic, salt and olive oil - combined with Julien's sensibility by putting feta cheese on top as the last fine touch.
stef, fi, tam, liked it.

Ingredients:

1x red onion, 1-inch-thick slice
2 cups chopped parsley
lots of garlic, smashed, crushed, chopped-do whatever you want with it
2-4 tbsps olive oil
200 grams French red lentils
2-4 tbsps balsamic vinegar
0.18 kg Bulgarian feta cheese
a pinch of salt

Procedure:

- Bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Stir in lentils up to 10 minutes
- Meanwhile, crush the garlic with salt, balsamic vinegar and oil in a bowl.
- Drain lentils very well. Place warm lentils in the same bowl. Add half of the sliced red onion and the other half of chopped parsley. Mixed them all. Add the remaining parsley and red onion. Place feta cheese on top.
