Thank you for this yummy recipe. It was quick and easy and I loved the dressing.

Great salad. I would add one caveat, cook the lentils al dente. They are too soft when fully cooked.

Really tasty and healthy recipe! I cooked my Lentils in vegetable broth in my instant pot, they turned out great.  They had more flavor than cooking them in water.
