2-1/2 cups Water
1 leaf Bay Leaf
1 sprig Fresh Thyme
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 Tablespoon Pomegranate Molasses
1 Tablespoon Jerez Spanish Sherry Vinegar

1
Sort the lentils to remove any stones or debris and rinse them. Put lentils, water, bay leaf and sprig of thyme in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 20 minutes, until al dente. Watch lentils to make sure they do not dry out. If they start to look dry, add a bit more hot water. The goal is when the lentils are done, most of the liquid should have absorbed without a lot leftover. Season with salt. Set aside.
2
In a small bowl mix pomegranate molasses, vinegar, lemon juice and lemon zest together. Whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set dressing aside.
3
Drain any residual liquid from the lentils and place them in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, cucumbers, mint, parsley and feta cheese. Toss with dressing. Serve at room temperature.
