This salad is a culinary abomination. I'm not sure how anyone could enjoy it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this salad was a complete disaster. The dressing was too runny and the flavors didn't work well together.

This salad is a great idea, but the execution was lacking. The salmon was overcooked and the lentils were mushy.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to taste.

The lentils in this salad were a bit undercooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking them for a few extra minutes.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less curry powder if you're not a fan of spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this salad was surprisingly delicious. The flavors are well-balanced and the salad is very refreshing.

The curry dressing is so flavorful and versatile. I've also used it on grilled chicken and roasted vegetables.

I made this salad for lunch today and it was delicious! The lentils and salmon were cooked perfectly, and the curry dressing was flavorful but not overpowering.

This curried lentil salmon salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was incredible, and it was a great way to showcase the fresh salmon I had just caught.
