I made this in the morning. The flavors married nicely. I did add some crushed garlic (I add garlic to pretty much everything). This was a very fresh salad. Thank You. [made for AUS/NZ recipe swap #20, Sept. 2008]. -
I was already having lentil salad for lunch so doubled my lentils to make this salad as well. Unfortunately I didn't have fresh coriander so I used ground but this was still a lovely fresh tasting salad which really fills the gap until dinner time. Made for ZWT 4. -
I made this early in the morning so it could chill for several hours. After chilling, the cumin and cilantro flavors were in full bloom! I used fat free yogurt and a little extra cucumber. Very nice salad when you want something healthy and different. I'll make this again. Thanx! -
A perfect recipe for a teenage vegetarian boy to learn on. We all agree it is important to let it sit overnight. Four stars on the day it's made, and five stars the next. We garnished each serving with a sprig of parsley. Thanks Amanda for a winner. -
I enjoyed this and mixed it with rocket and served it with crusty bread and in fact you could mix it with lots of lettuce and tomato to make it go further . Next time I will add the cucumber just before serving as the cucumber weeps and makes the whole thing a bit too wet so it was a bit like a cold dahl or a dip but as we eat mainly vegetarian meals this was not an issue at all for us and I will enjoy it again for lunch today so many thanks to AmandaInOz
