This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had a chance to meld together and the lentils were even more tender. I highly recommend this recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some cooked lentils in the fridge, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up. The salad is hearty and filling, and the dressing is delicious. I served it with a side of roasted vege

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The salad was still delicious! The lentils and dressing were flavorful enough to stand on their own. I also added a bit of crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
