I really liked this recipe - it's so quick and easy to prepare! I added some celery and grated carrot which added some variety and extra colour!

This is a fresh, tasty salad. I add diced cucumbers, and it is a hit at fellowship dinners.

Its a good start for a recipe. I made this as is, but after a few tastes, I decided it would benefit from a little red wine vinegar and feta cheese.

I found this recipe to be a really good base for a lentil salad, with plenty of room for customization. I added a cucumber as suggested by other reviewers, as well as a package of mixed beans (prepared for salad). I also reduced the amount of green olives. Fresh parsley would also be a great addition! Tasty and healthy :-)

Great basic recipe. I went with the other reviewers additions, plus more. I love onions, so I put a generous amount of that, fresh cilantro, red bell peppers, cucumbers, chopped jalapenos from a jar and chipolte Tabasco sauce. Yummy! Yummy!!!

Could NOT get my boyfriend to eat this after the first bite. He basically hated it. I thought it was fine, but REALLY bland. I may try adding some vinegar, salt, and feta - as another reviewer suggested - to make it a little more tasty and interesting.

This was the first time I cooked with lentils (which is odd because I love them!). This salad was nice and different. I halved the recipe and it still made a large amount. I cut the olives down by 1/4 and it was plenty salty/tangy. I added Feta cheese on top. My hubby really liked this salad too!

i made this for a pinic which had a very broad spectrum of goers, and had none of the salad left to bring home so it was definatly a hit. i did add a bit of sea salt and some red wine vinegar because it was a bit bland tasting. will be making this again, possibly with the addition of cucumber and feta cheese to help kick up the flavor.

Thanks for this recipe. I used to make the same salad except I used black beans in place of the lentils and used both red and green bell peppers. I also added salt to taste. I love it and I had misplaced my recipe, so glad to find this one.
