This salad is a great way to use up leftover kohlrabi. I usually have a few kohlrabi in my fridge, so this salad is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a bag of lentils in my pantry, so this salad is a lifesaver when I'm short on time.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less curry powder.

I'm not usually a fan of kohlrabi, but it was surprisingly good in this salad. It added a nice peppery flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the lentils and couscous.

This salad was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The lentils provided a hearty base, while the kohlrabi and couscous added a nice crunch. The curry dressing was flavorful without being overpowering.
