Mediterranean Lentil Salad

Careful with the amount of garlic in the dressing.

I mean it's a Mediterranean salad with lentils Good over all

I've got to learn how to make only half recipes using lentils. Didn't really love this dish while warm-ish but once it had been refrigerated overnight and the flavors had a chance to develop. Tasty! And lots of filling leftovers which is a bonus.

It was OK but found the lentils were soggy despite draining for ages I wonder if tinned may be better. Didn't store well for lunches. Won't make this version again but will continue to hunt for a tasty one.

I over cooked my lentils but still thoroughly enjoyed it and it will definitely became a summer go to. Really enjoyed the dressing too. The olives give a really good salty bite

It's a good recipe overall, but it's all about the taste. You can improve it, in order to make it good for you. We added more lemon juice and we didn't put all the lentils. We will definitely going to change the lentils with cannelloni next time. The lentils are blend and not so tasty for us.

Flavors weren’t bad but it turned out pretty soggy - we will definitely make less dressing next time (and make sure not to overcook the lentils). I also think there could be more Dijon and less lemon in the dressing.

Made some substitutions, but it was great overall! Love the lemon dressing!

Have to improve sauce. We had egg in fried rice style in it. Should have paneer too

I dont like lentil but this is my new favorite salad. Thank you. It is amazing ♥️

Changed black olives to green, but anyway was delicious

I have never had a Mediterranean style salad, but I would definitely have this again 😁! The only thing I would change is putting in less red onion. I made this right before school started back up and it was such a mistake to - I had such bad onion breath for a few days for the first week 🤢! But as long as you put in less onion (like I am thinking just putting in 1/4 of a red onion) then this is a fresh, tasty, and healthy recipe that fills you up nicely. 💛 (Did not include tomatoes or olives. Neither did I put the dressing included into the recipe on the salad - the dressing was too lemony for my taste and the salad was moist enough that the dressing wasn't needed 😁🤘)

Will exclude olives next time

Used cooked puy lentils. Added dressing just before serving.

Added some eggs and baked the chick peas to get it crunchy🥰 loved it so much!

Loved it! A little too much onion for my taste but my partner thought it was the perfect amount! Added some dried cherries in there and ate with falafel or veggie burgers

Added some salmon for extra protein. Tasted great and lasted the rest of the week.

Delicious, savory salad. Full of fresh ingredients with protein packed lentils for a flavorful and healthy meal or side dish. We will make this again

Absolutely delicious- lovely summer salad

This became a staple in my family, since it satisfies all our needs (a mix of diabetic and vegetarian people). It's harty, fresh, excellent as a side or on it's own. I throw in whatever fresh veggies and cheeses i have but the quality of the tomatoes makes this. My vegetarian husband will have a double serving with wraps or fresh bread while i, diabetic, serve it as a side for fish, pork or chicken. Ps if there are leftovers, it saves well for next day's lunch - excellent straight from the fridge

It was amazing I live in the Caribbean and I needed a quick salad so in use items that was available for me . So I left out the balsamic vinegar ,olives and feta.It was still amazing 😍

Great reviews from the lunch guests. I left the spinach out as we were having other greens and it was still great.

I make this all the time, my boyfriend requests it

I used lime juice (we have a lime tree) instead of lemon juice and served it over mixed baby greens. Hubs loved it.

No good for meal prep as it turns into a soggy mess after 24hrs. Flavours were not very exciting either.

A bigger bowl is necessary.

Tastes great! I omitted the tomatoes for personal preference and accidentally added more feta than called. But it was really good!!! Makes for a great sure dish or main if a protein is included.

Good. It's all about the dressing for this.

When I made this for my family I also used cousgoose did not have cucumber dice stuff jalapeno without the seeds and my family loves it

We skipped the olives and added just a smidgen more Dijon. Absolutely amazing! Fresh, crisp, and tangy.

Did this four times already and i simply love it!!! The flavours are great and its's super easy to make!!

Added balsamic vinegar and more mustard for taste

This was great. Cooked the lentils in the IP for 10 minutes with quick release. Subbed ACV for the lemon juice. The 10 year old had 3 bowls full.

Super fresh and healthy. Quick and easy to make. Can store the salad and dressing separately for around 2 days, so this fits well with meal planning too. Definitely recommend this.

I used orange lentils, since I had them in my pantry. Super good and fresh.

Yummy! Added plant based chickn!! Gave to friends and they took seconds :)

Love this so much! Will be making it again and again. Thanks so much for sharing!

Cook with salmon

I didn't like it the first time so I omited the fresh parsley and the olives and added a bit of orange bell pepper more dijon and it was better

Added balsamic chicken and sautéed onions because I was out of red onions. Delicious!

It was fresh and delicious. Didn’t use feta, and was still good. It’s summer now and need more salads in my life!

Surprisingly flavorful. I left the cherry tomatoes whole because I like the crunch, and I added shredded chicken. I cut the lemon juice in half because some reviews said it's too lemony, and I think that was a good call. I'd double or triple the dressing for the amount of leftovers you get!

Made with quinoa instead of lentils, but it's delicious !

Yummy

Used lots of fresh garlic which made the lemon vinaigrette excellent (and to my garlic loving taste!)

Loved this recipe, used mozzarella instead of feta. So good and healthy

Made it without onions and swapped in black olives. Overall great and it’s my salad for the week now. The dressing was very lemon-y so I would say either add some extra Dijon or cut down the lemon by half. Totally based on preference.

Used quinoa like folks suggested. Turned out solid! Next time I’d add some cooked chicken and avocado and maybe some more spices to the dressing to really jazz it up.

Really good - made it with couscous in the rice cooker

Oh my God this is so good! I substituted the lentils for quinoa, and then added banana peppers and avocado. But everything else stayed the same and I love it!

Also used quinoa instead of lentils

Would use quinoa next time.

I loved this! I get nervous making lentils, so I replaced them with quinoa and loved it!

Very simple to make, and very tasty. The flavors grew on me the more I ate.

Precook the lentils and onion

Added more garlic than called for. Also made it the day before and let it come to room temperature before serving, made all the difference in the depth of flavor. Served as a main with some crusty bread for meatless Monday. Had leftovers as a side with grilled chicken later in the week.

we loved this salad. it worked well for a dinner salad. I knew that I would not have a lot of time to prepare dinner so I cooked the lentils early in the day and put them in the refrigerator until I was ready to make the salad. the lemon juice dressing was light and refreshing and the lentils gave the meal a more filling attribute that was unexpected for a salad. it is an excellent choice a a healthy and low cal dinner

I made this using a store bought lemon dressing and without the onions and olives and this was just okay. It was a little too bland that way, so if I were to make it that way again I would definitely need to sub some other flavors or spices.

Very satisfying, would make again. We added a little more feta than the recipe called for. Enough for four people, so two meals for us. We added a small piece of smoked salmon the second day.

Oh my god this salad is perfect!
