I just made this for my lunch tomorrow and it is delicious. I followed the recipe exactly except that I added thin carrot sticks and a stalk of celery for a little more color and flavor. I did find the dressing a bit sour and will cut the red wine vinegar down by at least half. I also followed one review and cooked 1/2 cup lentils and 1/s cup brown rice with 2 cups chicken broth in the rice cooker. It turned out well. Five stars for this one because the possibilities are endless!

This was a quick and easy recipe that surprised me. I had a leftover can of lentils and a ton of brown rice and figured I'd give it a shot. I used spicy mustard instead (that's all I had) and it came out awesome. Thanks for this healthy and refreshing recipe!

Just okay. I followed the recipe exactly and the red wine vinegar seemed way too overwhelming a flavor for my tastes. I would suggest reducing it by half, adding more olive oil, and adjusting flavors from there.

This salad is excellent. Very tasty and good for you! Highly recommend for a lunch or a lite dinner. Didn't have any red wine vinegar, so used Balsamic instead. Also added some diced red pepper and some shredded carrots. Awesome, thanks!

This was a very tasty salad, but I found it a little too salty for my taste. I will probably make it again, but will use more like 3/8 tsp. of salt. The only change I made was to use chopped fresh chives instead of the green onion, because I didn't have any. Thanks for an easy and tasty recipe!

We thought this tasted okay, but not 5 star like I was hoping. There's no question that it's a salad you can feel good about eating. To make things easier, I put 1/2 cup each, uncooked rice and lentils in the rice cooker with 2 cups of water and the bouillon. They came out perfectly done, and the rest was easy to throw together.

This was really good and reminds me of a tabouleh recipe I make in summer! I used couscous today since I didn't have brown rice on hand and it was very good! I would recommend making twice the sauce next time but overall, quick, easy and very pretty on the plate!

I made a small amount to start with because I was testing it before making for two separate Christmas parties. Both my husband and I liked it but both thought it was a bit heavy on the vinegar so I'll cut that back when I make it next time. Overall, though, this is a very good recipe.

Really good, I didnt have green onions, and it was a bit too tangy because of the vinegar, I am just gonna decrease the amount of vinegar a tad.

I used chicken broth since I didn't have bullion. Great recipe! I'm not a huge fan of lentils, so first bite I wasn't sure if I liked this. But it's so good for you, it was like my body craved it! This will become a frequent addition to our meals.

I thought there was too much garlic, so I ended up adding extra rice, lentils, and vinagrette.

This salad was okay, a little too much red wine vinegar for my tastes. Also the rice need more liquid to cook than the recipe called for.

This was delicious! My husband said "I have to say I was dubious about this lentil stuff, but it's fantastic!". Like another viewer said, it's isn't pretty looking, but it tastes great, and that's the most important part. (Also, I had to use canned diced tomatoes, dried parsley, and red onion because I made it last minute and it was still awesome. I know it will be even better with the fresh ingredients).

I took this to a BBQ and it was well enjoyed by all, and I just loved it! The dressing is delicious, I substituted the wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar and it still came out great. I also added in some diced yellow peppers, substitued chives for the green onion, and added A LOT more parsley. It was absolutely delicious, I'll be making this one again! Edited to add that I made this for yet another BBQ and it was super tasty once again, delish. This is pretty much a staple for me now for BBQs.
