I made this as a side dish for baked coconut shrimp. I wish I would have put more pineapple and pecans in it. I used garam masala powder and so it turned out pretty sweet. Overall, its an excellent dish. Also, I added some coconut oil before I served it and it made it that much better.

I don't like to rate a recipe that I changed, but there doesn't seem to be any way around it. I cooked 1/2 cup of lentils in 1c. p/a juice/water and spices as called for. Then added 2 c. cooked quinoa, 1/2 c sweetened coconut, 1/3 chopped pecans and about 1 c crushed pineapple. I liked the sweet with the curry. Tomorrow I will try it cold with leftover chicken, and the onion I forgot to add.

I really did not care for this dish- I didn't like the pineapple and the curry flavor together- I would of added mango instead of the pineapple- back beans instead of the lentils and added a lime vinegrette instead of the curry powder- I found it really hard to eat

I did not care for this dish hot. My husband liked it alot and the kids ate enough for me to know that they neither loved it or hated it. I did like this a lot better when it was cold and that was unanimous through my house. Despite the average rating, I will make this again but next time I will add some golden raisins. I think that this addition could actually bring it up at least one star and maybe even up to five. For whatever reason, despite the pineapple and pecans, this needs a contrasting flavor because it had a flat curry flavor and not enough depth.

I used fresh pineapple instead of the canned, wild onions instead of the red onion, and had to omit the coconut. I cooked the quinoa and lentils up in water while I cut up the pineapple. Great taste combinations and great visual appeal. This is a salad that I'll serve often!
