I love this recipe not only for the flavor, but for the health value as well. A big hit with my family because of the unique blend of flavors that work so well together. The cumin and dijon are key in tying everything together, so I wouldn't try to do without. I added another 1/2 cup of corn for color and flavor. Very very yummy.

Great! I only added 1 Tbsp of olive oil, since I prefer a very low-fat diet. It was great just like that.

Scrumptious and very healthy. I was looking for a new way to eat lentils besides soup and this was a winner. I halved the recipe. I thought that the 1c. of oil was way too much. I only added 1 tblspn. of olive oil and it was more than plenty. I loved the flavors of the cumin and dijon mustard. Thanks!

I made a double size batch for 8 (4 adults and 4 children ages 4-13). Everyone loved it and had 2nd and 3rd helpings, including my 11 year old son who had 3 helpings at dinner and then snuck another few spoonfuls while we were cleaning up after dinner. When adults and children all rave about a recipe, that's a winner. We will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe as written, except I used extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar (because they were handy). It turned out amazingly well! I will definitely use the recipe and the simple dressing again.

This salad is excellent! I used olive oil (for taste and health benefits) and only half of the required amount. I substituted green onions and added red pepper for color. Overall, this salad is a real winner - I plan on bringing it to my next potluck!!

This is exactly what I've been looking for! A healthy staisfying cold salad to take to lunch at work (I'm trying to get my boyfriend to stop using the microwave there). He doesn't like beans or cold salads so it was kind of a stab in the dark making this, but he loved it and has been raving about it for the past two days. I used half the amount of oil and its was still rather oily for me so next time I think I will use 1/4 cup. Still gets 5 stars though because its just that good!

This was a hit with a friend I had over. As a former vegetarian, I loved it. My husband said it was a 4 star recipe but he doesn't really like lentils. I made mine with garbanzo beans.
