Curried Lentil and Cashew Salad image

This slightly exotic lentil salad can be made many ways, curried is just the one I like best. The cook time is for the lentils, they must be done to your preference. The vegetables are meant to be raw.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this salad was surprisingly good. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the curry sauce was mild and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I added some chopped hard-boiled eggs and avocado for extra protein and creaminess.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used canned lentils to save time and the salad still turned out great. I also added some chopped cilantro for a pop of freshness.
