Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lentils and cook until tender, but not falling apart, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and spread on a baking sheet to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and chopped herbs. Add the cooled lentils, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives and stir coating everthing in the dressing. Gently fold in the feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as necessary.
